"You've gotta fly now"
But humans don't fly
"You've gotta fly"
I said Why?
"Because you've got a baby to feed
and a mother who needs
you
like you once needed her before.
A job and a plight with
no sleep tonight
and a notice hangin' on the door."
She said "You've gotta fly"
So I flew -
Who knew?...
Who knew what people could do
when they have to?
So I flew
and I flew
till my baby was fed,
while making sure that my mother
was mothered instead.
Makin' somethin' outta nothin',
askin' me why
and where I even got the nerve to fly.
I said a little bird once told me
not me, but
the old me...
all the reasons that I've gotta try
And maybe, just maybe...
humans were meant to fly.
