Flying Away

Sometimes I want to fly away
Up and up and into a ray
Of pure yellow sunshine
Warm upon my skin

I want to fly among the birds
Fly away from mindless words
Feel the wind upon my cheeks
See the world spin round without me

I want to fly among the stars
Far away from fumes of cars
See the Earth from another side
See the ocean deep and river wide

Life will be different up in the sky
No need to be hurt and no need to cry
But I don't have wings, and I can't fly
But if I could I would live with the birds in the sky
