Can You Fly?

Can you fly?
Can your feet leave the ground?
Can you reach the sky?
Are you forever earth bound?

Can you touch a star?
Can you reach outer space?
Can your wings take you far?
Are you bound to this place?

Can you swim an ocean?
Can you cross the sea?
Do you have the notion
That it’s time to flee?

Can you climb a mountain steep?
Can you bridge a valley low?
Have you fallen asleep?
Or is it time to go?

Can you say a prayer?
Can you talk to God?
Did they spoil the heir?
Did they spare the rod?

Can you sleep at night?
Can you take any rest?
Is it time for flight?
Is it time to nest?

Can you hug the world?
Can you embrace the wind?
Has your life unfurled?
Do you need a friend?

Is life too fast?
Is there no time left?
Is it all in the past?
Have you reached the crest?

If you’ve done it once,
Can you do it twice?
Is it just a hunch?
Do you need advice?

Can you turn back time?
Can you stop the clock?
Is there reason to your rhyme?
Is it time to take stock?

Has your life overflowed?
Are you in distress?
Ahead’s a long road.
Can you stand the test?

Can you free the ties
That have you boun’?
Can you resist the lies?
Do they hold you down?

Do you wander alone?
Is He at your side?
Do you have a home?
Are you along for the ride?

Do you long to be free?
Do you want to soar high?
Are you just like me?
Can you fly?
