in
the finest

suits -

I want

No time to reach out and touch a life or a song

drumsticks choreographed

winds baton.  Birds cling
tightly knowing that if the
gale subsides for but a moment
they will fall over, be blown
like feathered...

Of Donald trumph Oprah Winfrey
And bill gates
And the country that has so much	hate
And so little faith
And the city of brotherly love

I have always wished to fly
I'd like to join the  birds in  the sky
Releasing myself from pain below
Feeling freedom , feeling a relaxing flow

See a play
On Broadway
Spend a day
In old Bombay
Riding on an elephant

Fly up high
In the sky
Birds pass by
As we hang-glide
Falling in love on our descent

Take a tour
And explore
A little more
From the floor
In the Louvre of Gay...

Come hitchhiking through the galaxy
We'll catch a ride on a shooting star
Let's take a flight at the speed of light
To distant worlds both near and afar

Defying the laws of gravity
Neither affected by space or time
