LEARNING TO FLY Soaring Free and Roaming the Sky

When my back’s against the wall

and nowhere left to turn

I look up to the sky and wish I could

and then learn how to fly

The magic that transforms in me

releases all its cares and woes

Once these are gone

and you feel light

like a feather begins to float

with not a care of where it will

land or fly to next

free from worry, free from doubt

free from everything in or out

just soaring free and roaming skies

the finest feeling freedom brings

does not compare to anything

The time has come when the circle closed

and it was time to let go

the apron strings and cut the chord

that once bound me in sorrow

out of that I learned to span the sky

and finally learn to fly

release the problems

let the problems go

they were not mine to keep

I only thought that they were mine

with inner mind I did see it was not mine to bear

it was the burden of another that I took on because I care

I tried to help, I tried to save but was not for me to do.

So letting go and letting be helped me learn to fly

Soar on my own, span the sky and see the light of day

And learned to care for me

as never before had now time for me

The strength of my spirit

and the determination of my mind

together they form a lasting bond

that will last till the end of time
