I had some nice comments and critique from the good folks at SongStuff and have remixed this song to make it a lot shorter and generally tighten it up. I hope this new version is a lot more accessible and less rambling…
Sometimes you alight on a phrase and a song takes to the air…breathless…
Flights of Fancy
A flight of fancy, just spread your wings
Takes you on the way to better things
The working day, working away
It’s not easy, back-breaking, low pay
A flight of fancy, can change your life
Move to a higher plain, more play, less strife
Out of your comfort zone, and into the blue
A chance you have to take, you know what to do
A flight of fancy, just take your time
Reach for the skies again, it’s a slower climb
A million migrant flyers, since times of old
Flying the distance, just to escape the cold
In life many questions, and flight holds the clue
Take to the skies again, to find out what is true
I capture the answer, but didn’t think it through
In flight there are questions, and an ending of blue
A million migrant flyers, take epochs of old
Flying the distance, just to escape the crushing cold
A flight of fancy, just spread your wings
Takes you on the way, to better things
