If You Can't Fly
Two old birds in the sun, gray and weary, neither movingTo the pond, far away, it's too hot out here todayFinally one lifts a wing but the other says "Too tired, I'll just sitWhere I am, it's too difficult to fly, don't think I can.""Come along," says the first, "If you want to quench your thirst You've got to move, shift around, put your beak into the groundBit by bit, closer still, it's just a matter of the willSide by side, step by step, come ride the wind up to the water and get wet."If you can't fly, you can run, if you can't run you can walkIf you can't walk, you can crawl, that's the beauty of it allIf you can't crawl, you can roll, keep your eyes upon your goalYou have your place in the flock, if you can't roll then you can rockTwo old fish, slow and cool, reminiscing in the poolAbout the times they got away and their friends who didn'tPay attention, don't get hooked, ride the center of the streamGo with the flow until you know and you can swim right up the river to your dreamIf you can't swim, you can row, if you can't row you can glideIf you can't glide, you can ride, that's the beauty of the tideIf you can't ride, you can roll, keep your eyes upon your goalYou have your place in the boat, if you can't roll then you can floatWho said you couldn't do it, who dug you in that holeLetras de cancionesYou'll only see your obstaclesEach time you take your eyes off of your goalTwo old friends sitting round, sometimes birds and sometimes fishesSometimes running all aground in the gaggles of big wishesBelly-flopping on the pond, stumbly wobbling on and onBut take one step every day and pretty soon you'll climb that mountain in your wayIf you can't fly, you can run, if you can't run you can walkIf you can't walk, you can crawl, that's the beauty of it allIf you can't crawl, you can roll, keep your eyes upon your goalYou have your place in the flock, if you can't roll then you can rock From Letras Mania
