I FLY AWAY




I fly away when the roads are rough
I fly away when the bridges are weak
I fly away when it’s difficult to cough
I fly away when wickedness is at its peak

Am not a coward because I chose to fly
High rays from the sun cracks the spine of the clay
Am not a fool because I break down and cry
He who fly away lives to fight another day

Knock! Knock! The villain is come
He is here to see what I have become
I wish I could tear him bit by bit
But is he really worth my spit?

From the world, I fly, there’s nothing to gain
From all my worries, I fly, I want to be sane
From the waters, I fly, it’s cheaper than the plane
From all these wrongs, I fly, over and over again

    I love this part most,
    "From the world, I fly, there’s nothing to gain
    From all my worries, I fly, I want to be sane
    From the waters, I fly, it’s cheaper than the plane
