This is a song that, depending on how you look at it, took me either 30 minutes or 3 years to write. I wrote the lyrics to the chorus in 7th grade but nothing else; I didn't even have a tune to sing the lyrics to. I sat at my piano one day last year and made up the words to the rest of the song in about half an hour. So this is Fly.
Verse 1:
Hurt and crying
Lost and dying
Troubled and cold
That's how I lived my life
But a whisper in my heart
Spoke to me softly
It told me the words
I needed to hear
It said
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to fly
Just spread your wings and touch the sky
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do is try
Verse 2:
Scared and alone
You don't know why you're searching
You want it to end
But the days keep passing by
You know I'm your friend
I'm right here when you need me
I'll tell you the words
You need to hear
I'll say
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to fly
Just spread your wings and touch the sky
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do is try
Don't let the haters hate
Don't let your poor heart break
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do
Bridge:
Is try, try
To fly, fly
Just try, try
And you'll fly, fly
Oh, let this be our anthem
Shout it to the world now
Don't wait any longer
You don't have to be afraid
(We don't have to be afraid)
Don't be afraid to fly
Just spread your wings and touch the sky
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do is try
Chorus:
Don't be afraid to fly
Just spread your wings and touch the sky
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do is try
Don't let the haters hate
Don't let your poor heart break
Soon you'll be soaring high
All you gotta do is try
