Soar!

Instead of someday, how about today?  Soar to new heights!

Today I'll fly!

Today I'll soar!

Today I'll be so damn much more!

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

~adapted from “Bigger than my Body,” by John Mayer

"Bigger Than My Body"

This is a call to the color-blind

This is an IOU

I'm stranded behind a horizon line

Tied up in something true

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not my time?

What is there more to learn?

Shed this skin I've been tripping in

Never to quite return

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines

And it might be over in a second's time

But I'll gladly go down in a flame

If the flame's what it takes to remember my name

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body

I'm bigger than my body

I'm bigger than my body now
