born to fly
07.19.05 (8:55 am)   [edit]

With apologies to composer/author Mike Ruekberg (my high school crush, sigh) for any copyright infringement. I did write him and ask for the lyrics (which were not included in his album "Acrimony and Cheese," but got too caught up and just listened until I figured I got it. Here is the song I'm listening to so much my laptop is ready to hit me.

"Born to Fly," by Mike Ruekberg
(Available on "Acrimony And Cheese" (mp3 snippet avail at link -  highly recommend this album for its very listenable songs), as well as the soundtrack to "Dummy."

Ooooooh....
You're feeling kicked around and broken down
You've fallen down and can't get up
All those doubters and the shouters and the fakers trying to call your bluff
Don't be shaken and mistaken 'cause you're just a diamond in the rough

So baby, wipe those tears from your eyes
You know you'll find a way to get high
You haven't even tried....

Baby you were
Born to fly
You're never gonna get there crawling
You're putting up a wall to hide from everything
Born to fly
You're gonna have to start out running
If you wanna touch the sky you'd better find your wings

You feel avoided and exploited baby, overworked and underpaid
You're feeling stretched to the limit any minute now you just might break
Yeah, just be strong a little longer 'cause tomorrow's gonna be your day

The sun could melt away all your doubts
If you could only break through the clouds
Your future's starting now....

Remember you were
Born to fly
Time to show the world your colors
Break out of your cocoon and tell us how you feel
Born to fly
You spent enough of your time dreaming
Now open up your eyes and rise and make it real

(bridge)

Born to fly
You're never gonna get there crawling
You're putting up a wall to hide from everything
Born to fly
You're gonna have to start out running
If you wanna touch the sky you'd better find your, you better find your....
Born to fly
You spent enough of your time dreaming
Born to fly... [fade]

Went to HS with him, too. I think we had at least one water fight the summer between my sophomore and junior year. A really nice guy, but he's off on the west coast, I think teaching sound engineering or something.
