A Flight of Fancy

A Flight of Fancy A flight of fancy, just spread your wings Takes you on the way to better things The working day, working away It's not easy, back-breaking, low pay A flight of fancy, can change your life Rue the higher plain, more play, less strife Out of your comfort zone, and into the blue A chance you have to take, you know what to do A flight of fancy, just take your time Reach for the skies again, it's a slower climb A million migrant flyers, since times of old Flying the distance, just to escape the cold In life many questions, and flight holds the clue Take to the skies again, to find out what is true I capture the answer, but didn't think it through In flight there are questions, and an ending of blue A million migrant flyers, take epochs of old Flying the distance, just to escape the crushing cold A flight of fancy, just spread your wings Takes you on the way, to better things Words and Music by David Bradley Instrumentation and arrangement by David Bradley Keyboard wonder and ambience by @MonoStone-1 In a pristine blue sky, the birds do their thing. Occurred to me recently that my lyrics may well have emerged from my subconscious as a metamorphosis of the Richard Bach story "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", which I read in the early 1980s as an inquisitive, impressionable teen.
