Several years ago I wrote a song about certain dreams and feelings I was experiencing. The poetry of that song seems relevant anew. And its words are rapping at my heart…

 

When I was above the clouds

I dreamed of the ground.

I dreamed of the ground

when I was above the clouds.

 

When I traveled overhead

I longed for land instead.

I longed for land instead

when I traveled overhead.

Now I’m grounded. Yes, I’m grounded…

And I want to fly.

Like… When I was above the clouds.

 

When I was a bird

I yearned for the earth.

I yearned for the earth

when I was a bird.

Now I’m grounded. Yes, I’m grounded…

And I want to fly.

I want to fly!

I want to fly…

Like when I owned the sky.
