about

This is one of my poppier songs. It always makes me happy to sing it. I think of it as an uplifting song, though I suppose the lyrics could be interpreted otherwise!

lyrics

I walk alone, I stand alone
I’m a one-way ticket
Resilience is my home
And I know it’s out of fashion
Making selfishness a passion
But a thirst to find one’s own light
Isn’t something you can ration

I might have stayed forever
If you’d let me keep one foot in the door.
You confused my lust for living
With your fear of being bored
So here I am again
Flying solo round the world

I take my time, I know my mind
Not for me the old conventions
I’m no production line
I want a world that’s built on caring
Just can’t take the over-sharing
Being smothered by opinions of the masses
Is kind of wearing

But I might have stayed forever
If you’d let me keep one foot in the door
You confused my lust for living
With your fear of being bored
And here I am again
Flying solo round the

World is so inviting
Don’t know why some find it frightening
You’ve got to chase its endless riches
It’s not a crime to be ambitious
So many wonders to be learnt
No time to stress about being burnt
We’ve got to challenge broken systems
We’ve got to try to make a difference
Life’s a joyous helter-skelter
But sometimes I need shelter
Cos it’s just on and on and on

And I might have stayed forever
If you’d let me keep one foot in the door
It’s not my fault you’re all running
Scared of being ignored
And here I am again, flying solo
It’s my time again, flying solo
Don’t clip my wings
I’m flying solo round the world

Flying, soaring,
Flying, flying, striving, thriving

Can’t clip my wings
