I Can Fly If I Want To- by: unknown forgotten

Sometimes the moment our dreams contort themselves into reality
We realize that the embodiment of hope is harsh
Such peace and melody between our earlobes
But distortion from there to the air is off the charts

Child, you will never be able to fly
Remember, that's what you always wanted
Running so fast you lifted off the ground
Soaring like a bird as you slept in bed

And that good friend that is now dead
He will never come back to say goodbye
His body is buried and rotting
Despite what dreams you have at night

This, being life, is not a fucking game
Dreaming is not the answer to our problems
Nor are dreams come true what we need
We need to look around, stand tall, and laugh our asses off
For joy is the best saving grace
Rejoice bitches.

I can fly if I want to
I can soar the clouds
Faster than any plane
Freer than any bird
Kissing the heavens with my lips
And dipping back into the atmospheres
Diving down at hundreds of miles an hour
I can clip the tops of trees
Dodge through phone lines as I please
I can fly if I want to
I can fly in the sky,
touch the cool midnight stars,
And be everything I can be.
All the in the hours of dreams.
