Dreams Of Flight

52 9 13
                                    

I close my eyes
And try to feel
To see the one who really believes
That I can fly, that I can fly
That I can reach the heights to touch the sky

I search for truths,
And find dead ends
Lies never want me to see what's real
But I choose to fly, I choose to fly
Even if hurt is the coveted prize

My dreams in despair, so fragile
Bleeding hope of dawn at midnight
Vivid as sunset, too beautiful to be true
I wish to fly, I wish to fly
I want to be the one who soars the skies.

Caged in cloaks of the ordinary
Dreams crushed under forced normalcy
Still, I reach out to touch the sky
'Cause I want to fly, I want to fly
Even if the sky lies out too far

Fear creeps, and hopes are shredded
But dreams live on with new faith
And I will overcome all
And stand proud and tall
Then stretch my wings and fall
And I shall fly, I shall fly
And finally be able to touch the skies
In my paradise...
