You need to learn to fly

*Why is it so hard to repair the pieces 
When we are the ones to let them break
We know what was at stake 
Still we let them take

When asked for it back they laugh and spat 
Stating it was never worth all that 
We know our worth before 
They made us feel so poor
 
What fore so they can be king
If it was the throne you wanted there was no fight 
You could have it with a peasants delight
To be made king over night 
Like it was some sort of sight 

But now looking down
cant even see the ground
You put yourself on cliff
Away for the earthy life ‘
 
Do you still feel like a king
 when there is no one to sing, your praise
Who is there to give your more of a raise
When you shoo them all way

How do you like the taste of the top
There is only one more stop
I hope you know how to fly 
Because you might die
