Flying Free

There is a place I call my own Where I can stand by the sea And look beyond the things I've known And dream that I might be free Like a bird above the trees Gliding gently on the breeze I wish that all my life I'd be without a care and flying free But life is not a distant sky Without a cloud without rain And I can never hope that I can travel on without pain Time goes swiftly on its way All too soon we've lost today I can not wait for skies of blue Or dream so long that life is through So life's a song that I must sing A gift of love I must share And when I see the joy it brings My spirit soar to the air Like the bird up in the sky Life has taught me how to fly And now I know what I can be And now my heart is flying free
