I Want to Fly Away

4 Strings is the CD that remains with the player of my poor wayward car. Of course, because I don’t have the CD in my possession at the moment, I have all the songs stuck in my head without the relief of playing the album to get them out again.
I’ve had this CD for quite some time and this particular song always make me think of a time when I use to drive into the city, when I was living down south, to visit Janai. The towering skyline and the weird relationship situations I was experiencing at that time in my life made me feel the lines “Here I sit, listening to the rain. I’m ok but not the same. I feel alive, on my own, in a place called home”, very deep in my heart. Even though I live in this area of the state I’ve always wanted to live in the city, yet at the same time I was pretty sure I’d never have the finances to be able to do it. Something about belonging to something bigger, being closer to the places I loved to go dancing at, and ultimately being independent of everything that was dragging me down at that time.
With all of that in the past and having had so much change in my life, for better and worse, at this current and rather dark time for me, I felt this song was darn appropriate. “I don’t know why I came here, but I know I just will stay.”



Fly Away
4 Strings

I don’t know why I came here,
But I know I just will stay
Everything they told me,
Suddenly fades away.
Sorry but I’m gone,
For all the things I’ve done
Now that I see life,
Before my very eyes.

I take a walk beneath the waves,
Its no ordinary day,
Head up high I’m on my way
I fly away
Fly away (fly away)

You know what matters to me,
I’m in this wide open space,
You offer me so much,
I fly away (fly away)

Here I sit, listening to the rain.
I’m ok but not the same.
I feel alive, on my own,
In a place called home.
(Take a walk) (echo)
(Take a walk) (echo)

I take a walk beneath the waves.
It’s no ordinary day.
Head up high I’m on my way
I fly away
Fly away (fly away)

You know what matters to me.
I’m in this wide open space.
You offer me so much,
Fly away (fly away)
Fly away (fly away)
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away

I take a walk beneath the waves.
It’s no ordinary day.
Head up high, I’m on my way.
I fly away (fly away)
Fly away (fly away)

I take a walk beneath the waves.
It’s no ordinary day.
Head up high I’m on my way.

I fly away...
