'my Spirit's Learning To Fly'

--I stand alone in silence,
as the world passes by,
feeling my spirit in defiance,
looking up and asking why,,
--I looked into the distance,
the horizons meeting the sky,
heart's soaring in a trance,
listening to the eagle's cry,,
--My heart adapted with patience,
my actions improvises to try,
my overcoming this earthly resistance,
and bounded into the sky,,
-
Chorus: My spirit's learning to fly,
            never looking back asking why,
            courageously climbing the open sky,
            winds drying my watery eye.
-
--I reached into the distance,
up into the benevolent sky
the freest feeling of existence,
no one else can deny,,
--Beware the winds of resistance,
that blows in your way,
competently navigating the natural turbulence,
the raw nature on display,,
--Never alone in my presence,
among eagles in the sky,
wing tips brushing freedoms' essence,
singing with my eagle's cry,,
-
Break: Black clouds of great lightening,
           that clapped with destructive thunder,
           raining down upon the lands,
           turning death into life's plunder,,
-
--Caught in the storms' embrace,
trapped in it's stormy eye,
wearing my armor with grace,
and roared my eagle's cry,,
--My helmet's wisdom in place,
with virtuous chainmail that apply,
under freedom's breastplate for peace,
bracing the storm's natural reply,,
--Raising Liberty's shield of resistance,
and gauntlet  of knowledge's mystery,
holding a truthful sword's competence,
surviving the storm in victory,,
-
Chorus:
_
--Landing on a tree's acceptance,
watching the storm pass by,
humbly thankful for continued existence,
tears forming in my eye,
--Colors glow in sunset radiance,
natural artwork to the eye,
stars come with twilight brilliance,
and rested under the sky,,
--Dawn crowns with clear illuminance,
brightest light of the day,
thankful for another days' existence,
and bounded into the sky.
_
Chorus:
