Never Got Off the Ground |
My father was a farmer |
But his head was in the sky |
He worked everyday but Sunday |
'Til the day he died |
He prayed for rain and thunder |
And listened for the sound |
In the dry years he went under |
He never got off the ground |
We all dream when we’re younger |
That we will do great things |
Me, I used to have a hunger |
To wear a pilot’s wings |
But the circle’s that I ran in |
Turned my head around |
And the planes I had my plans in |
Never got off the ground |
Don’t raise your hopes |
You hear so many say |
The higher they get |
The closer they are to flying away |
Fly away. |
Don’t raise your hopes |
You hear so many say |
The higher they get |
The closer they are to flying away |
They say there but for fortune |
Is the way it would have been |
If we could take a bigger portion |
We’d fill our hands again |
You see them on the sidewalks |
In the parks all over town |
Those who’ve taken flight |
Never got off the ground |
