about

In January I went travelling through mainland Europe, visiting Germany, Austria and Czech Republic. This song encompasses the frustrations that one has with jaded routine and the desire to see something new, and was a convenient entry into the Uke To Bridge “Flying and the Sky” competition.

lyrics

I could see the same sunrise that I see every day, where I know that I’ll be safe I could wear the same suit, for the job that I hate for a guaranteed pay check

Or I can pack a bag, and hop on a plane, step on soil that isn’t mine I’ll never know until I try

Until I fly away, step in the shoes of Mercury Become the foreign tongue I’ve feared, and the different coloured face Yeah I’ll fly away, my fortunes lie in the roll of the dice But it will be the best time of my life

I’ll escape the routine, the never ending grind, that ends in my four walls I’ll learn how to deal with the hand I am dealt, put the cards on the table

I’ll just pack a bag, and hop on a plane, step on soil that isn’t mine I’ll never know until I try

Until I fly away, step in the shoes of Mercury Become the foreign tongue I’ve feared, and the different coloured face Yeah I’ll fly away, my fortunes lie in the roll of the dice But it will be the best time of my life

I’ll just pack a bag, and hop on a plane, step on soil that isn’t mine I’ll never know until I try

Until I fly away, step in the shoes of Mercury Become the foreign tongue I’ve feared, and the different coloured face And I’ll fly away, my fortunes lie in the roll of the dice But it will be the best time of my life
