I Wish To Fly

Have you ever seen a plane up in the sky,
And wished to yourself that you could fly,
With nothing up there but the peaceful birds,
Nothing to be said and nothing to be heard,
I too wish I could fly above,
Just like a plane or a peaceful dove,
I wish I could look down on everything,
And then slice the wind with my sharp wing,
I wish I could fly towards the sun,
Just to have a little fun,
I’d fly to the warmth and I’d fly to the cold,
I’d fly with the young and I’d fly with the old,
I’d fly in circles and figure eights,
I’d fly from early until really late,
I wish I could be that bird up there,
And live my life without a care,
Even if I was a metal bird,
The kind people once thought was too absurd,
I’d love to fly and I’d love to dream,
And leave behind a trail of steam,
But instead I sit and watch and wish,
And cross the impossibility off my list,
But ill keep my imagination alive,
And off of those thoughts I will survive.
