324 Fly, Fly, Fly

13353922_sAbout This Song: (Lyrics below)

This is something like the 3rd or 4th version of this song…

The first version I wrote about my car… long story.

The 2nd one is on the Feather On The Wind CD titled, “Ride, Ride, Ride”.

The 3rd one is on a CD I did for children called “Birds” and that’s where it changed from “Ride, Ride, Ride” to “Fly, fly, Fly”…

None of those felt definitive… so I added it to the “Thirsty For The Sky ” CD in it’s present form…

Where it speaks nicely to the idea of freedom and transformation that have become the over riding themes of my life…

This version features me playing percussion on some of the drums I made myself as well as some SERIOUSLY great piano work by Joe Mennonna.

Fly, Fly, Fly

Song #324 | 11/11/02   | CD: Thirsty For The Sky

I’ve seen a flock of geese fly on a windy night
Like Christmas lights across the moon
I’ve heard a mockingbird sing everything
In the world except for his own tune
I’ve seen blank horizon fill with thunderclouds
Whirling in the August sky
The wind on my skin is the house I live in
Let me teach you how to fly

Refrain: Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly

If you want to see, well then you’ve got to look
If you want to hear, just listen
If you want to learn, you’ve got to pay attention
Every moment gives a lesson
If you dare to be who you want to be
You will be judged by some
But if you stretch your wings and open up your heart
You just might reach the sun

Refrain:

There are so many things I want to learn
So many things I want to know
So many places that I want to see
That I’m packed and set to go
I choose you to be my traveling companions
Brothers, sisters, friends
We lift up today into a sky
That beckons to the end!

Refrain:

Some reviews & testimonials

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

I loved the song and listened to it 3 times….

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Gene Moore

Love your lyrics!

Love your music! Love your lyrics!
