Take Flight

You choose how you perceive the world. You may choose joy, peace and life; or you may choose death, pain, and strife.

Take my hand,

Let us fly

Take a stand,

And believe tonight

Up up and away,

Soar up above,

Trust me and stay,

Accept me in love

Faith keeps us afloat,

Singing the bird's song,

Joyful in every note

Flying all day long

Don't let doubt flow,

Keep it at mind's bay,

It belongs far below,

I don't want you to fade

Fear is a weakness,

And with it, doubt,

A temporary sickness

In which we all fight and bout

I can feel your heart,

The pain you hold deep down,

Trying to hide it from the start,

But now, you see, it's found

The clouds hear your cry,

Tearing down their cheer,

And no more can you fly,

Because of your sadness, doubt and fear

You had the world in hand,

The skies at your call,

But you thew it all away,

Even though you had it all

You saw the beauty,

But denied its power,

With negativity you fell,

Wilted like a dying flower

Now we fly above you,

Few as we may be,

But we soar up on high,

Beyond what you could dream

Oh precious fallen angel,

How does it feel?

To be torn from flight,

And humbled to a kneel?

Was the pessimism worth it,

Worth this pain and death?

Instead, wouldn't you admit,

Be denied of love, bereft?

To all of you still flying,

Listen close to my voice,

Whether you are living or dying,

Is all in your mind's choice

You may choose life,

To choose to soar with pride,

Or you may choose pain and strife,

And become forever dead inside.
