Now My Son just keep your eyes on Pops
Keep your head up high my son
Don't fly to high
stay away from the Sun my son.
That's it edge to the side
go on son, get closer.
Closer go on right over there
to the very edge my son.
Then! Nooooooo....
It happened
like on the wings of a prayer!
He flapped and he flapped his way to heaven
for his little wings never did happen
and down to the ground did he flatten.
