God calls us to soar above the things of this ole world, to let the chains and things that hold us back to fall by the side, to soar high above with no captivity, to be a Skybird

Story behind the song
Daryl came up with this cool poem and posted for review "Skybird"....is just sounded like an older rock song to me...
Lyrics
original poem
Sometimes I wish
That I could be
A bird up in the sky
Clothed in splendour
Clothed in white so
Majestic’ly I’d fly
The world below would fall away
As I flew so free
No chains to bind me anymore
No more captivity
No fears to bind
To hold me back
From who I want to be
In Gods eyes a
Shining star each
And every one would see
The world below would fall away
As I flew so free
No chains to bind me anymore
No more captivity
I’d live for now
Not in the past
That speaks of history
Secure in heart
Of things to come
Of my future destiny
The world below would fall away
As I flew so free
No chains to bind me anymore
No more captivity
Tracing my path
Across the sky
On my journey home
Above the clouds
On the narrow road
Towards my heavenly home
The world below it falls away
As I fly so free
No longer slave but purchased
For all eternity
Words By Daryl P Hall
tweeked to song
Skybird
Verse one
Sometimes I wish that I could be
A bird up in the sky.
Clothed in splendor, clothed in white,
Majestically I’d fly.
There no fears would hold me back
From who I want to be.
In God’s eyes, now a shooting star
That everyone would see.
Chorus
I’d be a skybird, flying free.
I’d be a skybird, no more captivity.
The world below would fall away
No chains to bind me, I would say,
I’d be a skybird. Oh, I’d be a skybird.
Verse two
I’d live for now, not in the past
That speaks of history.
Secure in heart, of things to come,
Of my destiny.
Trace my path across the sky
On my journey home,
Above the clouds, the narrow road
Leads to my heavenly home.
Last chorus
Now I’m a skybird, flying free.
I’m a skybird, no more captivity.
This world below falls away.
No chains bind me. Now I say,
I’m a skybird. Oh, I’m a skybird.
