Elephlight

Words: Rhodri James
Music: "Dragonflight" by Chris Malme (roughly)
Inspiration: you need to ask?

The tune gets heavily mangled towards the end, because I never could remember how it finished accurately. I'd apologise to Minstrel, but it's his fault for not publishing the music earlier ;-)


        Daybreak, and not a cloud is in the sky.
        Time to wake, wipe the sleep from out my eyes.
        But now I don't believe in what I see;
        What the hell we doing up this tree?!
        
        	The crows just laughed and wouldn't stay, made rude remarks and flew away.
        	They left this feather on the tree, it's magic, so they said to me.
        	We can't stay here -- both you and I know it
        	And though there's fear, I'll try not to show it.
        
        		So spread your ears, reach for the sky,
        		I'll take the chance if you will try.
        		We'll go together, you and I,
        		We'll fly,
        		We'll fly!
        
        	They laughed when you first made your stand, a runt upon the circus sand.
        	They said that you would have to go, you'd be no use there in the show.
        	But they were wrong, as they will discover,
        	For you are strong, and you have the feather.
        
        		Spread your ears, reach for the sky,
        		I'll take the chance if you will try.
        		We'll go together, you and I,
        		We'll fly...
        
        Take a look around you, have you ever seen a sky so blue?
        There is magic in the air, can't you hear it calling out to you?
        We'll fly...
        We'll fly!
