Robert Samuel: Music > Lyrics

Notes and Messages

Each time I look up at the sky
I wonder why birds can fly
But why can’t I?
This feeling that I’ve come to know
I can’t explain, ‘cause I don’t know
Exactly why I must fly.

And when I’m feeling the confusion
Of the life around me
I hear the music in my mind
And the notes start to set me free

These messages that come to me
I wish that everyone could see
How beautiful it all could be
If we’d all live in harmony
Then everyone including me
Would learn to fly
And be set free

Notes and messages in my mind
It’s hard to find a way to tell
Just how I feel
These echoes that ring through my ears
Sometimes I fear, am I really here?
The line’s so fine in my mind
