Taking Time
Take your time Walk the line Between the past and ties that bind you to the ground you must escape to find the flight you must make haste Oh winged bird Seen on high What do you see from the sky? The earth and sea Lay far below And far away you do go Where the…… Continue reading Taking Time
Blur
