I AM GOING TO FLY

I was shocked to find out I have a cardiovascular condition which could be potentially fatal if there is not an operation soon - this song was inspired by what I am facing as the most serious health issue of my life so far. Fighting a bronchial infection while I recorded and one of first times recorded so a bit rought around the edges

I AM GOING TO FLY 3-25-09

I AM GOING TO FLY TO THIS TIP OF THIS BLUE SKY, JUST A FEW WHITE CLOUDS SHINING DEEP AND BRIGHT, I AM GOING TO LIVE, UNTIL ITS MY TURN TO DIE,AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, WHEN IT COMES, IM STILL GONNA FLY ...

I DONT NEED TO BE A BIRD, DONT NEED AIRPLANE WINGS, MY IMAGINATION IS STRONG AND BETTER THAN THOSE THINGS, I CAN FLY WHERE I WANT, AND FEEL THE CRISP WIND BLOW, AND WHEN GOD CALLS ME, ILL KNOW ITS MY TIME TO GO,IM GOING TO FLY WHERE MY SPIRIT FLIES, I AM GOING TO LIVE, I AM GOING TO LIVE, ITS NOT MY TURN TO DIE...

WELL MY HEARTS STILL STRONG, SHES BEATING DEEP IN MY CHEST, I HEAR THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, THE NEWS IS HARD TO DIGEST, BECAUSE THE SUN IS STILL BRIGHT, THE MOON STILL BEAUTIFUL AND SWEET, AND MY SOUL A PART OF IT, AND I GOT NO PLANS TO RETREAT
IM GOING TO FLY, EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT, I AM GOING TO LIVE, I AM GOING TO LIVE, IM NOT EVER REALLY GOING TO DIE...
IM JUST A SPIRIT OF LIGHT, DRIVING A BODY OF FLESH, I TAKE CARE OF MY BODY, YES I DO MY BEST, BUT WHEN THE PLANE BREAKS DOWN, IM GOING TO KEEP FLYING STRONG, WHATEVER HAPPENS ON THE TABLE, MY SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON..
I AM GOING TO FLY TO THIS TIP OF THIS BLUE SKY, JUST A FEW WHITE CLOUDS SHINING DEEP AND BRIGHT, I AM GOING TO LIVE, UNTIL ITS MY TURN TO DIE, AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, WHEN IT COMES, IM STILL GONNA FLY ...

I appreciate that - it actually made me cry too - it came to me in the middle of the night. I know I'll be fine - thanks for your feedback.

[SCSQ4]

Zooknoone, I am sorry to find out about your recent diagnosis of a serious heart condition.

This must be very difficult for you and your family. I will remember you in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery, and that you will live through this major health crisis.

I am glad you chose music as one of your therapies during this stressful time. Music is miraculous in the healing process.

[zooknoone]

Thanks - wow piano in the operating room would be great. I am always in awe of you classical musicians - you have studied so hard and know so much about music - whole worlds I will never know

WHEN DID ZOOK DIE??????????????



[1979SNP]

David, tomorrow is the second anniversary of your death. I was just think about you and miss your visits to my "home" in GB Land.

[Cactusbiter67]

David -- it is almost your birthday. Your entire family misses you -- more than I can say.

[gpluck]

David, I was so honored to have known you. I used to kid and joke with you when we talked because I wanted to be like you. You are truly one of the greatest human beings I ever met. Your comforting of your wife and letting her know everything was going to be okay before you passed on was very courageous and admirable. I only hope and pray we will see each other again someday.

Zook... You are dearly missed... Just came here to listen to your beautiful song and it brings me to tears... Leesa

[lorilaidlaw]

Zook, you were a bright light in a dark world. I was so very sad to hear of your passing. You are missed my friend, you are missed.

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in the quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I do not die.

[dedele34]

Do not Stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am the graceful rush
