Comeback Flight
Twas nothing trite wasn't looking for a fight
but I sure found what I was looking for
Can't ignore I was reaching for some new cure
Until I leaped on through the open door
Unrecognized - blinded by the light
Lost my sight but I came upon so much more
Not the man to be daunted by such a jam (who I am)
I looked up to the heavens
but I was starin' at the floor
Still I couldn't find
a reason or a rhyme
to be writhing in such pain
Cast aside in time
Seething through the hours - horrors so sublime
Came to my senses - no longer defenseless
A just reward for those who never stop tryin'
It was late at night
the pain was leavin' me uptight
Until I willed myself to let on out a lion's roar
I scared myself alright
Nearly vanished clear from sight
Not a bite or a sign was I ready to ignore
Comeback Flight
I'd come on back from the edge
wasn't cravin' for revenge
I gazed at me in the mirror
sans the evil dredge
Reeling from new heights
soaring with the light
I took comfort in the fact
I'd returned intact from my flight
(it was all gonna be alright)
