Fly On a Wall
Fly on a wall,
fly on a wall.
I never thought I'd be,
just a fly on this wall.
I could've been a bee,
or a flea.
I could've had teeth,
or a beak.
Yet I am only a fly,
stuck on this wall.
As people pass by,
I flutter these wings of mine,
to no avail.
They shutter on past,
like they don't want to be last.
One of these days I might take flight,
one of these days I just might.
What shall happen to me then,
as I fly past big ben?
Maybe a news reel,
or a front-page story.
"He flew to be true,
he flew to bring youth.
Maybe one day he'll fly by you"
This is a dream; however,
as no one would notice.
Through rise and fall,
all in all,
I'm a fly on a wall.
