Life will go on
Soon it is gone
It's bigger that we can conceive
Wink of an eye
A thousand years
Into eternity we shed our tears
I'm changing,
Rearranging my destiny
Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above the sorrows
To a new day I fly
Not where you stand
Nor where you are
It matters only where you look
To take the good
With (all that's) bad
It is the only way to go
The minutes
The hours
The years
Run fast
August 28, 2011... a memory on Facebook... a game I've been into (yeah, I was into silly games) had a topic about "one song", and there it was STRATOVARIUS, LEARNING TO FLY.
Just seeing the name made me miss the old times. Missing times I was learning lots of things in my life and fighting a great sadness and dilemma, until suddenly this songs pops to me, giving a kind of light on my way. I thank Sayuri for showing me it! And it's funny that even after years without listening to it, I could remember all the musical details hahaha
I wasn't pleased by just taking a short part of the song to focus in. This song, besides being short in lyrics, it's enormous in its meaning as a whole. Still remembering that same time, I wrote on August 15 of the same year about this song. Some thoughts have changed (come on, if nothing changes in 6 years, that's a problem) but most part of the original took its place.
We always have problems. It'll always be the same old boring thing to put us down, mostly when everything is going right. For real, we have to learn to fly. We have to learn to face our problems. We have to see that THERE IS a solution for things. We have to follow the path to a new day, indifferent to time.
The answer may happen now or in years. It doesn't matter. Get closer to relatives and friends. They are the biggest backup and support one's can have, since our life is short and nothing from what we have conquered physically in this world will be take to eternity.
CARPE DIEM!!!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NIV
PS: the song starts sing near 1:07, and this gorgeous Timmo Tolkki's Finnish band, works with clean vocals only.
