let me fly

i don't want to wait until the morning comes or the crickets croak or the fat lady flirts
i don't want to sip on regret or taste the failure or fly the flag of surrender

i do (however) want to fly
to go
to dance on the wind and the clouds and hope

there are no streams (to go against) in the sky
put me up there
give me flight
give me hope
hold my heart

let me fly, lord

let me fly
