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:
