One of my very first original songs, I wrote the verses and chorus to this song on July 4th 1976, during a road trip to New Mexico. The lyric content was inspired by Carlos Castaneda's book , "Tales of Power". The intro guitar parts were conceived into the arrangement 3 years ago while preparing to perform the song during my "Return From The Dead" solo concert at Waxajam 4.

Verse 1
I?ll tell you a tale from my wishing well
I wish I could fly - higher than high
Like stars in the sky, free spirits don?t die
I wish I could fly - to the stars shining in you eyes

I?ll sing you a tune, fly you over the moon
Show you a story of deep space glory
Faster than light speed ? finer than kind weed
Shoot like a star ? do you know who you really are?


CHORUS
Flying away ? headed for today
Fly with me friend ? our lives never end
We?re flying so high ? where our power lies



Verse 2
Now close your eyes - look past the disguise
Find you?re not earthbound, fly high above ground
Leap past the Sun ? oh we?re having some fun
A voyage around space ? to any time or place

(Repeat CHORUS)
