If I Could Fly

If I could fly high in the air like the birds up above Then seek out any person that doesn't know how to love Looking down upon the earth and seeing all of its glory Take to the sky like the morning dove and tell the all time story When flying far beneath the clear and brilliant skies Listening to the hungry and hearing their solemn cries Rising high above the rooftops and trying to see within People fighting for their freedom and wanting ever to win Soaring high like the eagle that is sharper than any bird Spreading of food to the hungry and speaking a kind word Darting up and down like the sparrow to and fro in the air Flying around the whole wide world spreading nothing but cheer Sing like the robin perched on a fence near the gate Peck at the heart that is filled with so much hate Gather up the dried grapes hanging on the vines so free Circle around the lush green forest and rest upon a tree Coasting and careening up to the greatest of heights Seeking to understand mankind and his enormous plights Finally to rest in a place where daylight turns to dark Yearning ever to fly again a new flight to embark Copyright 2013
