Flying

A boy has a dream of flying deep into the night's sky

Always dreamt of wanting to spreading his arms like wings

Everynight he gives it a try

He looks out into the world, takes a deep breath on how to begin

Looking out into the city's lights, he puts up his chin

Making sure no one is watching him

He leaps off like a diver about to swim

As he jumps off, he starts to think of what people will say

When they see him the next day

About the courage he had taken for flying

He will have that answer for them that he kept trying

...

As breaking news is broadcast in the distance

His mother needs a chair to sit down with assistance

She wept watching the news as tears began to collide

No one had an answer for her questions to provide

This dream a boy had of flying each night has just died

While people gathered at his home by his mother's bedside
