Fly in My Dreams

It's hard to believe I haven't posted anything since last year!  I know I got terribly busy, but that is really not a good excuse.  In February, an amazing person and friend died and I wrote a song for his funeral.  After being in a vehicle accident a few years ago and ending up quadriplegic, he came back to form a band and do inspirational shows.  Right about the same time, I agreed to be musical director for a local production of Godspell.  So, yes, busy, but still no excuse for not blogging.  I will be getting back to it on a regular basis. 

I was inspired by some words another friend wrote about Christopher's death, and asked if I could form his ideas into song lyrics.  He said, yes, and I wrote this song in honour of my friend, Christopher MacKay, who inspired us all to be all that we can possibly be.

Fly in My Dreams

 

Your strength will bear me up

Your light will shine forever

Your hope will lift my heart

It is your joy I will remember

 

So, fly up high to the moon

Let the evening breeze catch your wings

Fly up high to the moon

Fly forever in my dreams

 

You touched the lives of all you knew

With grace and hope and dignity

And now in peace you gently soar

Unfettered in eternity

 

So, fly up high to the moon

Let the evening breeze catch your wings

Fly up high to the moon

Fly forever in my dreams

 

You heard a song within your soul

The music took you into heaven

Your spirit overcame your form

And gave you wings to fly to freedom

 

So, fly up high to the moon

Let the evening breeze catch your wings

Fly up high to the moon

Fly forever in my dreams

 

Christopher, you'll fly forever in our dreams.
