MP# in the works.

I'm Flying

I'm flying, I'm flying away in my mind
I'm flying, I'm flying to a place in time
Far from here
where the atmosphere
welcomes everyone
far from here
where there are no fears
and everyone's having fun

Come fly with me and bring all that you know
about living free and helping to make things grow
and nurture life
free from strife
where there is no growing pain
A sharing place
where every race
can live and be the same

oh why must these flights of fancy
be only in our dreams
why must we wake up each day
and listen to the screams
of hunger and pain
and the misery that rains
on the worlds insanity
of lives not lived
and lives forbid
to know what they could be

I'm flying, I'm flying away in my mind
away from this place where I awake each day and I find
men who lie
and men who hate
and men who cannot feel
men who survive
but can't sympathize
or understand what is real

I'm flying, I'm flying away in my mind
I'm flying, I'm flying to a place in time
until the day
when men can yearn
and finally be concerned
about goodness and love
and reap the benefit of
everything we've learned

So fly with me, fly with me until it's done
fly with me until this place on earth is fit for everyone
come fly with me,
come fly with me
come fly with me

Cool tune and nice rhyming. It flows nice. Though the rhyming structure does change a lot. I find that a little confusing.

Hi

I like this agree with One Wing when she mentioed

" Though the rhyming structure does change a lot. I find that a little confusing"

But no doubt when it's being heard the music probably evens it out ..

Hilch :?:

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Hey chefie

I think the song is fine
I also have to agree about the rhyme, verse 3 and 4 ,
Though I think the main rhyme is at the end of each three line phrase,
as opposed to what I'm going to call incidental Rhymes
in the first two parts of the phrase that do not occour in verse 3 and 4.
Example
Far from here (incidental)
where the atmosphere (incidental)
welcomes everyone (Main)
far from here
where there are no fears
and everyone's having fun
I hope that makes sense

I believe these are the one in question.

men who lie
and men who hate
and men who cannot feel
men who survive
but can't sympathize
or understand what is real

until the day
when men can yearn
and finally be concerned
about goodness and love
and reap the benefit of
everything we've learned

So I offer this...

Men who lie
Men who despise
and men who just cannot feel
men who survive
but can't sympathize
or understand what is real

until the day
when men can say
it's time to be concerned
about goodness and love
and reap the benefit of
everything we've learned
