Flight of Opportunity


You were giving a ticket, it was bought with a price 
Promise this new opportunity but your journey starts with a flight
On this ride is just your bags of hope and dreams 
Leaving your loves, you're off to better things
As it's getting closer for your time to leave 
You realize everything is not what you thought it'll be 
Your flight is delayed but you remain cool
As the minutes turn into hours you're loosing that cool
Now you're starting to grow impatient, 
Persuading to speed the process but there's no negotiation 
Frustrated because you feel like your going through a cycle
Just know through every departure there's always an arrival 
Finally the plane of opportunity has arrived. 
You get onboard and now you feel alive 
Taking off to your new life everything is moving smooth and fast 
Then you hit some turbulence, now things are getting bad. 
The ride is shaking and fear starts to grip you 
You're looking up to God, begging him to assist you
Now it's storming you're wondering if you can ever get a break
You start to complain and then the Lord ask you where is your faith?
He said, "Above every rain cloud there's always sunshine"
You didn't understand because you're still worrying about time
Your faith is growing and peace is coming upon you 
You're rising above the dark clouds into higher altitude 
Everything is back smooth, feeling good about your destination
You're high in the sky, that's the only limitation
As you land you realized the process was worth it 
Now you're going into this opportunity with a purpose.
