A Chapter by Shawn Purcell
"

A song about living the life you choose

"

Hey, baby, Lilly,

I know its cold tonight.

Alone out on the ice

And it’s too dark to fly.

 

And you’re on the outside now

To face this on your own.

I know you’re scared

It’s cold out in the snow

 

Chorus

Fly high, Lilly

There’s no need to be afraid.

They can’t hurt you anymore.

Time will mend your wing.

 

And fly high Lilly, find space to grow

Go places you want to know.

Go home if you want to

But never feel you must.

 

 

Live your days

In a cloudless orange sky.

Love free and live well.

Change with the seasons.

 

Live every moment and

Always play the threads.

Know it’s never over

Because love is never ending.

 

Be strong.

Fly north into the winter

It doesn’t matter what they say

As long as you feel at home.

 

And remember you must get there

Before you can be gone.

Before your struggles become you

Be quick to move on.

 

Chorus 2

So fly high Lilly

There’s no need to be afraid.

Let them hate you if they want,

It’s not your problem, really.

Fly high Lilly,

Find space to grow.

Follow your heart sometimes.

It knows where to go.

 

 

So don’t forget

Everything’s cuz of something else.

Just listen when your heart cries

And live like your soul's alive.

 

Don't let them break your spirit,

And don't let them take your pride.

Put one wing forward

And grow a flap at a time.

 

It’s hard sometimes

It’s a far fall from the top.

Another nose dive into heartache
Is fun for all it’s worth.

 

Ask why if you need to

But don’t worry too much about the details.

Don’t base your life’s expectations

On the fears of those around you.

 

Chorus 3

Fly on Lilly

Until you can’t go anymore

Love free, this is your life.

If you get stuck just wait

All things pass in time.

Try not to lose your feet

Just breathe when you can’t speak

And wait until tomorrow.
