Fly With Me

I can relate To the anger and the hate To the feeling of rock bottom To becoming naked and afraid...like Gollam But somewhere there was light Made me fight To take off in flight Oh, I was afraid- The price I already paid. For my freedom...not the kind that I wanted But it’s what I have gotten… So hang on, here we go. I must climb out of this hole Stop holding me back What is that? A crack? Slide into that, rest for now.. How could you? It’s easier….that’s how! I’ll sit and I’ll stew Figuring out what to do… Days fly by, weeks, months,even years. Oh God, Please! Stop these tears! Now, I’m done sitting around I look up- there’s the ground! Yes! A few more steps and I’m there I’m out of this hole-Out of my despair But wait! Now what? I’m standing on the edge of a cliff? Don’t I have any luck? What do I do- The sky is grey, not blue A storm is coming in- Not a breeze, a hurricane wind The rain bites at my face It stings! Is there hope? Just a trace…. I won’t let it stop me No! Nothing! I’m going to be free! Free from the heartache, the pain, doubt and regret They say, “You can’t fly” I reply, “Wanna bet?” I’m building my wings One feather, now two I’m creating my path I’ll show other what to do The rain, it subsides Double rainbows appear I’m ready for take off- The sky becomes clear Here I go! Leaps of faith- And I jump Bump-bump-bump-bump-bump Now I’m soaring above In the colors- in the love I’m not looking back… I found who I want to be... I am flying Finally! I’m free! It’s your turn...grab the rope… Come and fly with me!
