Reflection Song

It’s sometimes a hard road, ain’t it son?

And a long old way until the race is won

Sometimes you’re tired

And sometimes you’re wired

And I hope you sometimes have some fun

It ain’t just feathered wings makes a bird to fly

It’s knowing he’s ready makes him even try

Sometimes he stalls

maybe he falls

yet flits back into the sky

And sometimes it seems you’re all alone

You’ll find me cheering from my paternal zone

Though words might fail

May love prevail

If not this brass ring then another one

It ain’t just feathered wings makes a bird to fly

It’s knowing he’s ready makes him even try

Sometimes he stalls

maybe he falls

yet flits back into the sky

I’m not the parent you might have had

In every family’s some good and then some bad

Be your own man

And not your old man

Set your own terms and make both of us glad

After all

It ain’t just feathered wings makes a bird to fly

It’s knowing he’s ready makes him even try

He soars over walls

However tall

The thrill the knowing soaring through the sky
