Fly Away

Flying in the air on a string

I am tethered to a little hand

This little hand that holds me king

King of the circus and faire

I like how the wind blows

Across my facets and curvatures

As I sway to and fro, and side to side

Gasping at the crowds that go by

Then I look up at the blue world above

And can’t help but wonder

What would it be like up there

Up and up into the atmosphere

Just one chance to soar

That is all I ask for

Just one chance to fly

To reach that blue kingdom way up high

But then I begin to remember

That if I should go

How would I return to the world below

I cannot just fall to the ground

Not when I am full and round

So here I must stay and say hello

To the world I am bound to

To the world below

But someday my little master will let go

And I will finally reach the kingdom

The kingdom of solid gold.
