High Flyer
You shot me down & I fell from the light.
You thought I would fall from sight.
Gone—living in misery
without you near me.
But, I have risen , like the bird of flight,
the Phoenix. I have risen to a new height.
I am soaring among the clouds.
As high as a kite can fly.
My heart is crying out loud.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.
Since I met her I am high.
As high as a kit can fly.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.
She has your charms, but, not your gile.
She always greets me with a smile.
Be it lengthy or for only awhile.
For time with her, I’d walk a mile.
She has the charms of spring in bloom.
Her lovely eyes just make me swoon.
I am soaring among the clouds.
As high as a kite can fly.
My heart is crying out loud.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.
Since I met her I am high.
As high as a kite can fly.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.
Like a night bird in its flight.
She showed me how to fly at night.
She taught me how to fly in the day.
To her, it’s all a game to play.
But, she is serious when it comes to love.
That’s why I can soar high above.
I am soaring among the clouds.
As high as a kite can fly.
My heart is crying out loud.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.
Since I met her I am high.
As high as a kite can fly.
I can fly. I can fly. I can fly.———————R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
