Another beautiful morning
The sun seems a little brighter today
It's my reward for stepping into the moment as I am seizing the day
I'm soaring now somewhere in the sky
The rush of air never wanting to come down
There's nothing that I've ever felt like learning how to fly
I'm learning how to fly
The freedom to be in the moment
The reason for making a memory
Never wasting all that comes my way as I take in what I see
I thank God for our freedom
There's nothing wrong with enjoying things in life
Spread the word that a smile's not beyond us
