Keep flying high my boy


Matthew 16:26 

26 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life?

 Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

 

Just deserve

 

Look at the future boy ... see what’s in it for you

Gather all the forces to get what you want

Grasp all you can get with joy and see what it will do

You’ll pay for all the courses in your final cramps

 

You think to be on top my boy ... well that’s good for you

All will be your friend as long as that will last

Many in your employ will be jealous of you

and wish you a quick end so you’ll be part of their past

 

Keep flying high my boy ... your speed will be breathtaking

When you cough in despair who will give you CPR?

You have every toy that filled your desired craving

All of that seemed so fair for you came from so far
