Lyrics / Almost Flew

Feel like a bird tied to a tether–not quite how it’s meant to be.
I’m looking around at all these feathers that I don’t even need.

Tonight I think that something happened when I decided to finally try.
Maybe to you it looked like jumping but I think I touched the sky.

Cause I almost flew today.
I almost flew today.
It’s not much of a tale to tell ‘cause after all I mostly fell
But I almost flew today.

Sometimes life is rough on living. Seems like I’m barely getting by.
This hard ground is not forgiving but someday I will learn to fly.
I’ll fly I know

‘Cause I almost flew today.
I almost flew today.
It’s not much of a tale to tell ‘cause after all I mostly fell
But I almost flew today.

Don’t take away this harness yet and I think I might still need this net
And let me know if you’ve got some hope to spare…
Hope to spare…

I almost flew today.
I almost flew today.
It’s not much of a tale to tell ‘cause after all I mostly fell
But I almost flew today.

very hopeful yet self doubting at the same time (or maybe thats how i feel and thats how I took it!). Melodic and I love the personification of the bird and the transition to flying. The next to last verse didnt really flow like the rest of it, maybe just the arrangement of the words.

hi there,

i like the lryic, i think i would make the title,”i almost flew today” the way it’s repeated throughout the song in the chorus, (but i do believe a bird needs all his feathers to fly..lol..the good lord wouldn’t create them for nothing..lol..)...nice job..keep writing you have talent.

Don’t take away this harness yet and I think I might still need this net
And let me know if you’ve got some hope to spare…
Hope to spare… Ifound these lines to be very powerful. The words of harness, net, and hope to spare are very powerful and makes this piece very strong. I love it.
