Flying

I wrote this song for my friend's son.  He turned 16 on the 16th and has been bravely battling cancer for years.  He likes super heroes (I haven't met too many boys that don't).  Most people love to occasionally escape into their imagination. You can go anywhere, and do anything in your imagination! This song is a mixture of both.  You can listen to me singing the finger picking version if you click here.  For the fun version where Tia and Kayli sing with me, and Connor does the video work click birthday video.  The words are below.

FLYING

(Q's Song)

The sun is shining in the sky

And lots of friends are walking by

Music's floating in the air

But I am far away

Flying through the sky today

Lightning flashes when I land

Wearing armor I take off again

Rockets that I shoot make rain

They will not cause you pain

They'll bring earth alive again.

I love flying

When the sun is shining

And when the night comes

I will fly

Way up to the moon

The colors are now bright and fun

From a tree I see everyone

Arrows arc into the sky

And rainbows they appear

Chasing out all doubt and fear

Running so fast no one can see

But good things follow after me

Bad things get pushed far away

As I go on my way

Running right through walls today

I love flying

When the sun is shining

And when the night comes

I will fly

Way up to the moon

I hear a sound that brings me home

I stop flying around alone

I lower the shield I hold

And all is safe and sound

Landing back on solid ground

But someday I'll take off again

Perhaps next time I'll take a friend

We'll take off into the air

And fly up toward the sun

To do good for everyone

I love flying

When the sun is shining

And when the night comes

I will fly

Way up to the moon

I love flying

When the sun is shining

And when the night comes

I will fly

Way up to the moon
