Learning to Fly
"Hold your head high
even if you're fakin"
was the road my
life had taken
Many years of feeling cold
feeling enslaved like I'd been sold
Throughout those years of playing house
I began to feel like a little meek mouse
Living amidst all of life's finery
A bit like owning your own winery
Every indulgence money can buy
What's it worth if it's all a lie?
One day I met this beautiful face
Who seemed so secure in his own space
He talked of things I used to know
It took me places I used to go
He taught me things I should have known
Because of him I feel I've grown
As if he knew me all along
He knew I needed to be strong
He shared with me
things close to his heart
The most beautiful music,
his personal art
His smile, his strength among these
things
Has helped me to regain my wings
I want him to continue teaching
toward those things I will be reaching
His time, his voice, his presence I
need
I hope he doesn't consider it greed
My thoughts of him will never cease
I'm now finding my inner peace
I truly know this can't be wrong
I'm flying to places where I belong
