What About Flying
today i learned to fly
even without feathers i took to the sky
and i had no way of knowing how to land
i took the leap as some might say
a leap of hope for another day
and that the grass is truly greener on the other side
and that there are places deeper than any man can dive
where creatures still manage to breathe and live lightless
while were up in the sun but don't know what life is
and wondering what we would do with a life
while more and more keep walking on by
slowly at first but tis an avalanche you see
for it quickly starts picking up speed
and memories and jobs and things gone unnoticed
and it hits you one day like a camera into focus
vie vaste my life. but its not too late
clearly by the way you are reading today
theres a chance for you still
a chance to survive
just take the veil off of your eyes
and then only then can you learn to fly
at least thats what they say when you ask them how to do it
if you would have asked me
id say theres nothing to it
