I Can Still Fly.

The wind under my wings.
Sweeping me higher in the sky.
I take one last look beneath me,
Kissing the sweet ground good-bye.

I'm flying forever upward,
The sky's no limit for me.
Nobody can stop me up here.
In the sky I'm always free.

I can travel wherever I want,
Go where nobody's gone before.
I'm free among the birds,
With them I'll always soar.

I watch everything below me,
Taking in from a new angle.
I can change everything from here,
All my problems I can detangle.

But then I come back to reality,
My eyes popping open with fright.
I'm back into the real world,
Where everything isn't alright.

I no longer have my gorgeous wings,
My heart feels battered and bruised.
I'm not in the sky anymore,
I take in my surroundings, confused.

I'm back on the ground, on planet Earth,
I've never ever been in the sky.
I clench my eyes shut against the light,
Because in my mind I can still fly.
