And The Way
Flight of Reflections: Navigating Life's Challenges with James A. Moore
Lyrics
Always wanted to fly, but I got no wings
Expresses a desire to experience freedom or achieve a goal, but acknowledges a lack of means or opportunities.
Way up high in the sky and see everything
Desire to gain a higher perspective in life and witness everything from a vantage point high in the sky.
Always wanted to thrive and enjoy this life
Expresses a wish to not just survive but thrive and enjoy life to the fullest.
More than just to survive, but there's so much strife
Despite the desire for a fulfilling life, the presence of significant challenges and struggles is acknowledged.
And the way things are going, I'm glad to be alive
Reflects gratitude for being alive despite challenges and difficulties in life.
And the way people acting, ain't even safe to fly
Observation on the unsafe or unpredictable behavior of people, even in simple activities like flying.
Always wanted to soar, over distant seas
Desire to explore distant places, symbolized by soaring over seas and clouds.
Over clouds and the shores like a gentle breeze
Imagines a serene and gentle experience of flying over clouds and shores.
Always wanted to sing from up high above
Expresses a longing to sing from a high vantage point, sharing music created with love.
Still I'm hoping to bring music made from love
Despite the desire for musical expression, there's still hope to bring forth music filled with love.
And the way things are going, be careful how you talk
Cautionary advice to be careful in communication due to the current state of affairs.
And the way people acting, it's dangerous to walk
Highlights the danger in the way people behave, extending the caution beyond communication to walking.
Can you tell me how we got here
Poses a question about the current state of the world and how humanity arrived at this point.
Tell me where did this come from
Further inquiry into the origins of the challenges and issues faced in the present.
Can you tell me where we're going

Always tried to compose in a 4/4 beat

Use what grooved me the most so I'd move my feet
Choosing musical elements that resonate personally, intending to evoke movement or dance.
Now my rhythm and rhymes suffer from the blues

Woeful sign of the times, and I can't shake loose
