One Try

We only get one try
To fly
With our wings spread wide

And my hope
Is that when I could drown
I’ll float
To my boat
And sail to my shore
Of ambitions and desires

But as we all know,
Dreams often change
And my contentment
Will turn to desolation
And I will long to fly free
Again
Because

We only get one try
To fly
With our wings spread wide

And while its still my chance
I want to dance
With my soul as my dress
And the sound of
My music
In my hair
And my eyes open wide
Glinting like moonbeams
Because

We only get one try
To fly
With our wings spread wide

Not to let my wish go to waste
One thing to add to another’s face
A smile
That gleams
With beauty and grace

And maybe, lets hope,
These wishes are contagious
And we’ll all catch the bug.
I hope and pray this,
Because
We only get one try
To fly
With our wings opened wide.
