Merle Haggard
Some Of Us Fly
[Nuala Kennedy]
We all come along, in our own given time
No way to compare, such unique design
But there's one common trait
To the scheme of it all
Some of us fly, all of us fall
[Bonnie "Prince" Billy]
When life deals you a hand you don't throw it away
The cards that you draw are the cards that you play
Some don't give a damn
Some give it their all
Some of us fly but all of us fall
[Nuala Kennedy and Bonnie "Prince" Billy]
Some spiral down in a circle
Some climb too steeply and stall
Some make the bet some ponder it yet
Some pass, some raise, some call
[Nuala Kennedy]
Some play it smart
[Bonnie "Prince" Billy]
I had a ball
[Nuala Kennedy and Bonnie "Prince" Billy]
Some of us fly, all of us fall
Some squander life, some turn it around
Some look to the sky, but they can't leave the ground
Some reach for the stars
When they're already tall
Some of us fly but all of us fall
