Learning to Fly
Persephone Phoenix (c)
(to the tune Learning to Fly)
Well I got reborn
In my second life.
I was a lamb well shorn
Of my mundane strife.
And I love to fly
Over hills and seas.
It’s hard to explain
What that means to me.
Yeah back in the day
Is a lot of years.
Remember the laughs
And all the tears.
I learned how to fly
Without any wings.
Algebra makes it
The simplest thing.
We all must die
But not quite yet.
What we remember
Is all we get.
But if I’m kind
Remember me well.
Because this is heaven
And this is hell.
I learned how to fly
Without any wings.
Algebra makes it
The simplest thing.
I’m learning to land
On phantom ground.
Like red balloons
We must all come down.
Learning to land
Is the hardest thing.
But every Winter
Has a brand new Spring.
