SCROLLING SCORE
TEXT
On this day, storm clouds
Turn my way, I try to say:
I’m too weak, leave me.
Let the others try,
I don’t want to fly.
So now I question why?
Please, I know I just can’t fly!
“Life is just too short.”
I know that.
“This all birds can do.”
Or so they say.
“Please don’t make a scene.”
On the edge look down.
Far below, just can’t go.
Expectant eyes ask why?
Please I know I just can’t fly!
“Life is just too short.”
I know that.
“This all birds can do.”
Oh so insane.
“Please just spread your wings.”
What if I’m the only one?
I’ll fall. I’ll fall.
Look out, here I go!
Oh!
