LEARNING HOW TO FLY (WELCOME TO LIFE)
(Nahkala/Furlong/McAndrew)
i heard a young man shouting down his nose
he said that life's so boring and nothing's really happening
i heard a young girl screaming like a bird
she was flapping her wings on invisible strings
while learning how to fly
like a door with the sign
which says "this is the only way"
like a door with it's sign
clearly marked "this is the only way"
i heard a grown man sobbing by a grave
crying life's unfair
is there justice anywhere
i saw an old woman clutching a photograph
she had everything but love
as she prayed to god above
through the door with it's sign
it's clear is the only way
go through the door, follow the sign
on the way that's the only way
learning how to fly
all we see at the end of the day
we all have dreams, can't be denied
fulfill your dreams bring them inside
when justice is just history
and mystery unfolded
is leaving just a stain
the uphill path is the way to go
but the tide against makes progress slow
time and time again
step through the door with the sign
marked clear this is the only way
step through that door to the other side
join the path that's the only way
learning how to fly
all is clear at the end of the day
we all have dreams, can't be denied
fulfill your dreams bring them inside
learning how to fly
all is clear at the end of the day
we all have dreams, can't be denied
fulfill your dreams bring them inside
learning how to fly
all is clear at the end of the day
you know your dreams won't be denied
fulfill your dreams before you die
learning how to fly
all is clear at the end of the day
Comment:- This is another creation by both the musical wizard from Sweden Juhani and the extremely talented wordsmith Andy Furlong with a little lyrical additions by yours truly. This is a cross between Tears for Fears and The Beatles, wonderful!! It's unusual not to be singing out and out rock!
