James Hersch - Flyer Lyrics

Thirty little ones in a circle form
Sun comes through the window warm
Clapping with every song I sing
Little more with every smile I bring
They're five years old, they've got to dance
Shaking all they got in those little pants
They don't even know my name
Sing along with me just the same

I know I'm just a flyer
Another voice in the choir
In a world that's set on fire and burning down
Burning down

She's a little bitty woman, just a little bit bent
She don't know where all of her good times went
She don't want to watch TV
She's coming over here to make music with me
And that music makes her feet get light
Rising up from her chair like a bird in flight
She knows every word to this old tune
She dances every inch of this whole room

I know I'm just a flyer
Another voice in the choir
In a world that's set on fire and burning down
Burning down

Now all of you who want to fly
Who think that you might want to try
Soar above the fire with me
From where I am it's a sight to see
That brighter fire burns within
The weary eyes, the wrinkled skin
Music makes it come alive
If you're ninety-two or only five

I know I'm just a flyer
Another voice in the choir
In a world that's set on fire and burning down
Burning down
Burning down
