Ain't Mary Jane
Flying High: Jenny Tolman's Anthem to Life Beyond Limits
Lyrics
Ain’t Mary Jane, ain’t Lucy in the sky
A comparison to drugs, suggesting she's not influenced by them.
I got no reason to feel this high
She doesn't have a specific reason to feel euphoric.
I just am, cause I can
She feels high simply because she can.
I got my feet on the ground
She's grounded, connected to reality.
And my eye on the promised land
Focused on achieving her goals or dreams.
There ain’t no rain cloud cryin’ on my sweet parade
No negativity affecting her positive outlook or goals.
No there ain’t no rain cloud cryin’ on my sweet parade
-Hey hey medicine man keep your hands off my lemonade
She's protective of her positivity and happiness.
Ain’t Mary Jane, ain’t Lucy in the sky
Reiteration of not needing substances to feel good.
I got no reason to feel this high
-I just am, cause I can
Similar to line 3, feeling good because she can.
I got my feet on the ground
Grounded and realistic.
And my eye on the promised land
Staying focused on her aspirations.
You don’t need a rocket when your heart’s got a pair of wings
You don't need external things when you have inner strength.
No you don’t need a rocket when you’re born with a pair of wings
-And no white pony gonna show ya how to use them things
External influences won't teach you how to use your strengths.
Ain’t Mary Jane ain’t Lucy in the sky
Reiteration of independence from substances for happiness.
I got no reason to feel this high
-I just am cause I can
Feeling good without a specific cause.
I got my feet on the ground
Grounded and connected to reality.
And my eye on the promised land
Continuing focus on her aspirations.
Oh I got my feet on the ground
Reiterating being grounded and focused on her goals.
And my eye on the promised land
