Tripping through Youtube.




























"Walkin in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale..."






The Ballad of the Last Dodo...

Happy
Sunshine
Like a child
Flying through the atmosphere
I look back
To see the the sea and an ocean of sky
wondering where the line of light and dark will be.
Riding through the sky
She asked, "Are you ready to fly?
Leave behind gravity?
Finally?"
I've been running my whole life.
A skip and a jump but still the memories like gravity kept me bound.

    The Ballad of the Last Dodo version 2.0

    (a redo)



    Happy
    Sunshine
    Like a child
    Flying through the atmosphere
    I look back
    To see the the sea
    And the ocean of sky
    Wonder where the line will be,
    Of the light
    And of the night.
    Riding through the atmosphere.
    She asks me, "Is it time to fly?"
    "And leave behind this gravity?"
    "But it's been withme my whole life."

    Take off.

    A skip and a jump but still the memories keep me bound.
