Lyrics:
Flying Dream
I dreamed I was a flying bird
I dreamed it was a kinder world
I dreamed it was the greatest time
To be alive
I sail along above the land
The world untouched by human hand
Flap my wings and soar
To Happiness
The Darkness remains undefined
A hope that leaves it all behind
The Genesis
of Human-Kind
Fly Fly!
Fly Fly!
Fly Fly!
About the song:
After reading Phil Collins' autobiography, I got inspired to do something along the lines of early Genesis... This track came out of that desire. Certainly not as ambitious as most of their early work, but clearly in that style. Lyrically, it was a chance for me to get away from all the nastiness in the news... A guilty escape from it all.
