Step out in
to the world and breathe its clean air
Take pains
not to worry, take trouble not to care
Hold tight
to your conscience and hold fast to your dreams
Be careful
to remember, nothing’s as it seems
You’ve kept
yourself in, locked and hidden away
Determined
to remain and shielded from the day
You’ve
remembered your grievances, yet forgotten your sins
Keeping
score in your mind of all your losses and wins
Like trying to swim
Like saying goodbye
It’s time to stand up
And learn how to fly
How long do
you plan, to continue on this way?
Days, months
and years? Who really can say?
So you haven’t
been hurt, and that’s your desire
Living your
life, like a bird on a wire
Rise up to
the challenge, take life by the reins
Grab hold of
the moment, let go of the pain
Learn from
your past and guard yourself well
Everyone out
there has a story to tell
Like trying to swim
Like saying goodbye
It’s time to stand up
And learn how to fly
