It is always a dream to fly,
to lift off of your toes a little more
and jump into the sky.
You fail if you don't try
to expose yourself and soar
like at one-winged fly.
Jump fast and defy
your inner lion and roar
facing upwards towards the sky.
Clouds and airplanes all pass by
through the air which they tore
all of them can fly.
But why can't I?
All of these things I adore
but I cannot touch the sky.
If I jump, I will die
by crashing on the floor.
It is simple, we can't fly
we eventually fall out of the sky.
