Taking Flight


Sometimes I feel like a baby eagle with broken wings in a crab basket;
Telling those fools that the wind will one day carry me to great heights;

But they laugh at me while I'm not looking, not knowing my wings are healing;
They say "let's grab his leg" when he tries to fly;

But I watch them with my eagle eye;
Sharp like the Egyptian god Horus;

So I practice, making my wings sound like a beautiful chorus;
Then, while they look around wondering what that celestial noise is,

I take off slowly; soaring and sounding like a gospel choir with a flight of success;

As they show the look of stress, I look down and say, we could have escaped together with a positive scheme;

Could have turned that basket over as a team;
But you just laughed at me, telling others you've been trying to escape  waaaaay before I even got trapped in the basket;

I had new ways of fleeing the mediocrity, and you all were too prideful to listen.  Excuse me while I take flight.
