I finished a song for once! – Gliding

I did it!
It may have taken a long time, but finally I found the lyrics for a song I’ve been working on. And by found, I don’t mean I always had them sitting about on a piece of paper that I stupidly misplaced, but found where they were hiding in my head.
It seems wrong to me to say that lyrics are ‘thought’ up. Then it sounds like they are forced out in a desperate attempt to finish off something half-heartedly before the end of a strict deadline.
But no. Saying that I found them works much better. It makes those words seem more animate, more meaningful.
And that, means waiting for the words to be found rather than force words onto a song that didn’t want them.
So why the long boring bit before I actually get round to typing the lyrics onto this post? Well, bluntly put, I’m useless at putting lyrics to a song, or vice-versa. This time I have both, and am (relatively) happy with both bits, although they need refining.
Hopefully, If I can work out how, I might post the actual song on here soon, but for now enjoy the lyrics to ‘Gliding’.

Gliding
.
Gliding
In floating streams
Flying
To where I want to be.
And wishes
Are hard to take
But don’t stop dreaming
Or those wishes might just break.
.
Take me where you’re flying,
I want to find my purpose there,
To you it is no mystery
What lies beyond horizons,
You see me as the speck I am
And I see you the same
But I’m the one still dreaming
That I was gliding there with you.
.
Burning
In passionate desire
For freedom
The fire towers higher.
Hopeful
The time is coming near
Grateful
The path is coming clear.
.
Take me where you’re flying,
I want to find my purpose there,
To you it is no mystery
What lies beyond horizons,
You see me as the speck I am
And I see you the same
But I’m the one still dreaming
That I was gliding there with you.
.
I’m gliding
On the wing.
I’m gliding
There with you.
