Written and recorded late one night while reflecting on ambition and the future my own children face. Dour yet hopeful.
lyrics
Peace, it only makes you bored, without all of your wars, you’ll wonder what to do
Love, it only makes you old, and who wants to grow old, so love is not for you
But Fly, you were always meant to fly,
like a sunrise through the sky, like a tear across your eye
Bones, they only hold you back, yes, literally hold your back (up), so you don’t need that
Skin, it’s just the stuff you’re in, shed it like your sins, and wear your muscles proud
Hope, a fancy word for wait, it’s already too late, you gotta go today,
Faith is something you believe, sometimes your wings, is all the faith you need
Chorus
Soul, it might be just a hole, when you die that’s where you’ll go, the truth is we don’t know
So fly, it’s your last chance to try, with a needle in your eye, promise me you’ll fly
