Day 10: Fly

I wrote Fly for my cousins and little brothers. Initially anyway. Turns out just like pretty much any advice I’m slinging around, I really need to listen to it myself.

It’s pretty good advice. The kind of stuff I still need reminding of.

I hope you enjoy it.

FLY

I know you’ll often think of, what they’ll say

But whether you ignore it, your dreams remain the same

You can’t live your whole life for someone else

It’s time to start believing in yourself

You see I know that you are broken and I know that you’re afraid

But I wanna see you stay and fight and keep on trying anyway 

I wanna see you standing tall, wind rushing through your hair

I wanna see you take a leap of faith and fly

So you hit another wall and you feel you’ve failed again

Well you can bond to your excuses or try in spite of them 

I guess it’s time to figure out whether to swim or sink

But let me tell you you are worth so much more than you think

You see I know you’re only human, sometimes life will get you down

But just keep pushing through the pain and always try and stand your ground

And never ever lose sight of what it’s all about 

Take a leap of faith and fly

Fly… 

I know that there’ll be days when, you think your dreams are out of reach

And the higher that you climb, the further that you’ve got to fall

But to try and fail is better than to never ever try at all

And I know someday I’m gonna see you 

Fly.
