Some recent posts reminded me of some song lyrics I wrote a while back. I was really depressed and was trying to write something to get myself out of my funk. I kind of felt the need for another reminder today so I looked them up again. Basically about my need to have less fear, taking that leap of faith, accepting that life is dangerous but that I can make some choices to make it better. And ultimately - achieving freedom.
First Flight - Facing Fear....Facing Life. You stand there on the edge Your wings are open wide Part of you is ready Part of you wants to hide Your heart is beating madly You know that you're alive You've prepared yourself for this moment Your wingmen are at your side All you need to do is step off but no, that's not quite it You wouldn't be the first one the updraft has failed to lift. All the knowledge you have gained The preparation that got you here None of it's worth a damn if you're still controlled by fear. There are things you can't control They'll get you in the end So find a way to believe in yourself Faith is your one true friend OK - here we go... Our very first flight! Our wings - they are working Things turned out all right. "Beautiful condor Show us the way Now that we're up here, We want to stay" The mighty bird whispered "You must do your part The updrafts will lift you IF you follow your heart" "The bad stuff will toss you Don't stay there too long Head for smooth sailing It won't steer you wrong." "So tell us what happens at the end of the day when nighttime approaches And we know we can't stay" Follow me down to your world on the ground Watch out for the obstacles strewn all around I'll get you back safely then its up to you to learn from this lesson and start life a-new. __________________ “Learn as if you were going to live forever.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
