Song “Fly
Away” By

Desciption of
Submission: “In life,
it is very easy t just give up, but when life is rough, we must look up, take a
stand, and move on…we must fly away.
Research states that gay youth are two
to three times more likely to attempt suicide than other young people. I wrote this song as a metaphor declaring
what to do in troubling situations.
Often times, it is hard to move on with life when my lifestyle causes
hectic issues to arise. I find serenity
through this song hoping that I can give others motivation when times aren’t
the best. Whether it be stressful
homosexuality issues or sorrow from a past situation, “fly away” can place
insight upon each issue one may face. In
life, it is very easy to just let go, and give up, but when times get rough, we
must pick our head up, take a stand, and move on…we must fly away.” - Anonymous

(I will
never give up..never.) I can see a
bird in the distant tree, Chirping
away, it’s a brand new day. This morning
bird has been rained upon, So, it
spreads it wings and flies away. Fly away… Fly away… Fly away… Fly away… The pouring
rain troubles the bird’s flight, So, it rests
its wings from the windy sky. When it
takes a land the thunder rolss, With the
rain falling down the bird don’t know what to do. (no…no…) Fly away… Fly away… Fly away… Fly away… (Fly away,
spread your wings and fly away) |
