Fly Your Life - Woman

Rosie Jackson 2007
Acrylics and Oil Pastals on canvas, 120 x 100 cm

The only thing that's certain is
That something’s going to change
Leave the past behind us
So we can turn the page
There’s noone going to listen if
We turn ourselves to stone
Just follow intuition, and this can lead us
home, lead us home.

Who are you and who am I?
Two hearts who laugh and who cry
Let’s go and move towards the sky

The only thing that’s certain is
That something’s got to give.
The only thing that’s certain is
We die before we live
There’s noone going to listen if
We start to spread the blame
Just another rendition of acting out
Our pain, acting out our pain

Who are you and who am I?
Two hearts who laugh and cry
Let’s go and move towards the sky

There’s noone going to hurt you if
You show them how you feel,
There’s noone going to help you
But yourself if you want to heal

And if you feel like crying
Don’t be afraid to be heard.
For tears are problems dying,
Fly your life like a bird

(Song for voice and piano: Rosie Jackson 2007)
