lyrics

You're singular
Float in the air
Original
You're truly rare

You have your power
In your hand
You won the race
'fore it began

Unfurl your cape
Take off and fly
You keep your feat
Up in the sky

I know your name
I know your cause
You have your edge
You have your flaws

(chorus)
We drift among the clouds
Glide in our balloon, until you shoot it down

You take your tea
Out on the porch
You sneer while I
carry your torch

You slide away
Into the night
I sit with my
Unending plight

Cover my face
So I can't see
Your lack of
Personality

Suspicious eyes
Say you’re not real
But they deny
Those things I feel

(chorus)
We glide above the ground
Flying through the sky, until you shoot us down

(solo)

If know that you
Can do no wrong
You live your life
I'm not so strong

I scream when they
Sully your name
I know that we're
So much the same

You pass me in
Your limousine
I drown my sorrows
In caffeine

I lay with my
ear to the ground
I call your name
You shoot me down

I've been playing music for 35 years and writing poetry for about the same amount of time. As a songwriter I've only recently felt I was good enough to publish. Hope you like it!
