Defy Gravity

Only if
you really try
you can turn the tables
and learn to fly.

out of this world
you will ascend
to the open air
where the skies never end.

there you will
forever stay
until the nights
turn into days.

and i will wish
upon a star
so i could be
right where you are.

under the glittering
nighttime sky
suspended between land and space
we'll fly.

laughing in the face
of the pull of gravity
swooping and diving
defying all our sanity.

all is peaceful
and all is right
will we ever come down?
not without a fight.
