Kathy Mar Fly To The Light Lyrics

Fly To The Light Lyrics

Nick was a golden child



Loved by a Muse



With many more talents



Than one man could use



But perched on his shoulder



With talons in bone



Was a raven of sorrow



As heavy as stone







Try as he might



The cold weight of that bird



Held him in bondage 



And coloured each word



And though his gaze traveled



As high as the stars



The bleak touch of talons



Became prison bars







The call of the music



Was strong in his soul



He shot toward the heavens



His eyes on his goal



But heroes get weary,



And heartache is strong



And few men can conquer



The raven's dark song







He fell in a slumber



And into the earth



The root of a fruit tree



Of infinite worth



And thirty years after



It blossomed and bore



A fruit that is nectar



From skin to the core







The raven of sorrow



Is feeding tonight



On a branch of that fruit tree



And dreaming of flight



But bound to the branches



In sorrow it sings



And the soul of that fruit tree



Has stolen its wings







Chorus: Look to the stars



Fly to the light



Leave the dark raven



Alone in the night



Soar with your Muses



On shining black wings



Away from the places



Where sorrow still sings
