Fly (8/31/94)

Walking on the Earth
Ever since my birth
Glued to the ground;
To the land, I am bound

I want to leave the Earth’s confines
To find a brand new state of mind
To reach the clouds and mountaintops
Past the stratosphere, I will not stop

I want to fly
Fly: sail through the sky
Fly: bid the ground (Earth) my good-bye
Fly-the trees, the birds, the air
Fly-mountains, clouds, the stratosphere

Floating in the water,
Swimming in a lake
I’m drowning in this H2O
I can barely stay awake

A new sensation to dry my eyes
Leave the water that I despise
To glide through the air around and around
I could stay here forever and never come down

Wind in my hair, air all around
With one last look, wave good-bye to the ground
