This seems to be a recurring theme in my music...the flying girl, rising above her pain and fears, transcending into their true self. And of course, this particular song is a reference to another, much better known song, which I love very much. May we all fly free.
lyrics
Lucy looks off the edge of the cliff, and she wonders if she can fly
If she can't it's a long way down, if she can she'll be so high
Sometimes it all depends on if you find the right dimension
Where the risk you take can free your mind
She's right at the edge of the world, and she's looking out beyond
Some said she was a magical girl, but they might have been putting her on
Right there at the edge of the precipice, so much more bold than the rest of us
She's willing to take the chance and turn into a song
There might have been bad times before, but it's hard to really say
If there were bad times before, now she's tossed them all away
Took a long time for her to get here
Now that she is, she's just so clear
She's ready to step off into the sunrise all ablaze
Lucy looks off the edge of the cliff, and she wonders if she can fly
If she can't it's a long way down, if she can she'll be so high
Sometimes it all depends on if you find the right dimension
Where the risk you take can free your mind
And we all want to be that high
Yeah, we all want to be that high
Ah, we all want to be that high
That high, that high
Far away in London Town, out amid the urban sprawl
A young boy looks and sees her floating high above it all
Her hands hold stars, or maybe they're jewels
He only knows that it's really so cool
He draws her picture, takes it home and puts it on the wall
Lucy looks off the edge of the cliff, and she wonders if she can fly
If she can't it's a long way down, if she can she'll be so high
Sometimes it all depends on if you find the right dimension
Where the risk you take can free your mind
Where the risk you take can free your mind
Where the risk you take can free your mind

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
