Keep Your Spirit Flying (Song)

1.

 

The blackbird

that’s lost its wings;

all that it

can do is sing.

 

It tries to

hurl up its voice.

It has to,

it has no choice.

 

2.

 

And this is

my paper bird,

I substituted

wings with words.

 

 

Though flights not

a simple art;

the bright blue skies

are in your heart.

 

Chorus:

 

You’ve got to keep your spirit flying.

You may fall but then

you get up again

and keep on trying.

You’ve got to keep your spirit flying.

 

 

3.

 

When ground falls

from under you

then ascend to

skies of blue

 

Look high

and you’ll find your place

may be

up in outer space.

 

4.

 

You will find the

wings you lack

may not be

upon your back.

 

They are folded up

inside

waiting to

be opened wide.

 

Chorus:

 

You’ve got to keep your spirit flying.

You may fall but then

you get up again

and keep on trying.

You’ve got to keep your spirit flying.
