Story behind the song
This is another personal song. The inspiration for this song comes from two people. One of my best friends, Rob, and my brother in law Rich.
Want to learn how to fly?
Lyrics
Fortune falls on the golden one
A life unfolds in the mi-dday sun
Well hardness is a trait
That leaves you blind
Voices in an empty booth
Wasted words that hide the truth
Shadows of a world
I never knew
The twisted winds of fate
Have blown these visions from my mind
One more day
One more lonely night
But now I see the dreams I knew
Were just an ocean full of lies
If only I could teach
These wings to fly
Empty stares that guide the moon
Laughter from another room
Like the jaws of a lion
Open wide
Comes a time I've had my share
I pull myself to the open air
Loosen up
And let the wind arrive
The captain of a sinking ship
On an ocean full of lies
Free my dreams as they drift off with the tide
The secrets of the stories lie
Anyone can touch the sky
If only I could teach these wings to fly
Where can I to turn too
I know I'm not the only one
I'd give a million dreams away
If I could only turn and run
But once again the shadows
They're much stronger than the sky
If I could only teach these wings to fly
Well maybe all these dreams I knew
Were just an ocean full of lies
Some day these wings
Are gonna fly
