Frederic Gray Poet Ballad

Feather Song

# Feather Song

Set to the main theme from Forrest Gump


Here we all go, light as a feather
Floating on down the road.
No matter what, we'll stick together,
Sharing each other's load.

No matter what, we'll keep on going,
Nothing can stop us now.
Nothing can stop the joy from flowing.
We'll make it through,
Don't ask us how.

Verse 2
We don't know where or when we're going.
We don't care where we came.
Joy is the travel not the knowing.
We'll get there just the same.

Whether it's fair or stormy weather,
Whether we scorch or freeze,
We move along without a tether
Never go down, down on our knees.

Verse 3

Nobody knows their path to glory,
So give it all to chance.
Everyone writes their own life story.
You cannot choose the dance.
 
People may laugh but we don't mind it
Life isn't all a test.
We grab our fortune where we find it,
Grabbing the gold, dumping the rest.

Every day's a thousand miracles
All that you need is one.
Follow the wind until you reach the sun.
