I CAN FLY

I CAN FLY

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”

― Erin Hanson

When everything around turned black.
Earth, wind, fire and water left me,
But for some burning tears in my eyes
Blown away, dropped on fertile ground.

That is where every step goes back.
Where eyes only inner self can see.
Where all words and promises are lies.
Where I gave up and fell, you found

And said: “My love, you are on track,
Let go, let go, you are yourself, and free,
And aim your eyes high in the sky,
And fly, and dance to every sound.”

So I jump, and dance, you have my back,
And if I fall I know you’ll catch me.
For you keep saying: “Aim far and high,
And I will be your solid ground.”
