Fly by
Who am I
To seek to fly
Touching the sky
Left life behind
For peace of mind
Wondering
Blundering
Making my share of mistakes
In my mind living the retakes
Hard I have I tried
Lord knows I have cried
The fairy tales all lied
Worked my fingers to the bone.
Seems I am meant to be alone
I'm at fault
My heart is a vault
Hard to soar
Wishing for more
But I do
So true
I want to fly
And I try
Fear holds me back
Dark thoughts on the attack.
Maybe faith in myself I lack
Refuse to kneel.
Do I have the will
To go all the way
Facing my fears
Weighed down by my years
My tears
Fighting my desire
To get lost in that fire
Letting myself loose my way
Live for today
But today is pain
Lost in the stain
Refusing to give in
For I must win
Someday
Someway
I will touch that sky
As I fly
Past this pain called life
Rise above this self made strife
I find
My own peace of mind
Searched so far
To find some star
When all this time
In the words that I rhyme
Keeping my feet on the ground
I have found
That I already can fly
Touch that sky
Make it mine
I will shine
Be the light
Shine so bright
As I make my way
To a new day
