lyrics

Given to wonder, I dream of flying
At home in the water, at home in the air
Two elements combined, mutable and unrestrained
Free from foundation, so much to dare

Free from the past
Let it go
Free at last
Let it go
In the joy of the moment
No hooks, no ropes and no chains
Just an iridescent horizon
In this place that doesn’t need a name

Take part in life and life takes heart
Welcome to the playground of the real
Shimmering water, the ebb of the swell
Wings and fins, air and water heal

Free from the past
Let it go
Free at last
Let it go
In the joy of the moment
No hooks, no ropes and no chains
Just an iridescent horizon
In this place that doesn’t need a name
Fear drowned in the ocean
And if anyone builds a gravestone, it’ll sink to the bottom
No looking down, no glancing back
This is the way home

Fly with me

Robert King Scotland, UK

Acoustic adventures, worlds within words
Wandering the green skin of the earth in the thin blue line of its atmosphere between the hands of earth and sea
