Analysis of Flying on my knees
Swaying in the breeze of your eye
Through the tree of your life
Inside rainbows brighten me
Albatross journey over the sea
Rain men sail unseen
To a lighter place
Fish feel each turn of the tide
Angles move in their eyes
As I kneel in the street
And cross my body
Seals pop out of ice into the skies
So bow to the God who sang inside my mind
Hidden ray's jump out of the sand
Tropical colour filled my song today
Counting waves on waves of love
My anger fades with clouds above
