THE BOY WHO LEARNED TO FLY

Open this story book

Do you recognise that face?

That boy is your grandfather

When he was just your age

He flew above this world

On a ladybird he saved

And he told me this same story

When I was just your age

Once upon a time, the boy who learned to fly

Saw the world from so very high

He learned many things, but felt the pain it brings

To see his father without wings

When he cried for the first time

When you were a baby

You couldn’t tie your shoes

But now you are 10 years old

And you should know the truth

That once upon a time you will learn to fly

And see the world from so, very high

You’ll learn many things, but feel the pain it brings

To see your loved ones without wings

When they cry for the first time

Oooh, I love you

Oooh, remember that I do

Oooh, please don’t cry

When I won't be here

To dry your eyes

This world is not what it should be

But there’s beauty if you try

You will grow into a man

And it’s okay to cry
