A Dream to Fly
Just found this one, couldn't find the credit for who wrote it though...
A Dream to Fly
It's in your blood; you don't know why
Just one goal; you've got to fly
To feel your craft; take to flight
It's been your dream; 'most every night
Then it came; your first flight
You spread your wings; it sure felt right
Above the ground, so high and free;
You could only think, it's meant to be
Ground school, flight school; summer and fall
So many lessons; to learn it all
Stalls and spins; and the lazy eight
You love to fly; but these you hate
Private, commercial; then ATP
A lot of work; you'll come to see
To build up time; you must agree
You'd fly anything; you'd fly for free
Snow streaks by, in your lights;
What a show, this cold winter night
Rain at the airport; dark and cold
Break out on top; a sight to behold
Cloud gives way; the storm is past
The air is smooth; your plane is fast
See the mountains; and oceans too
So many places; you'll pass through
Slice through clouds; on silver wings
So magnificent; to see these things
Props and jets; big and small
Coast to coast; you'll see it all
It's in your blood; you don't know why
You just can't stop; you've got to fly
It's in your blood; you don't know why
Just one goal; you've got to fly
To feel your craft; take to flight
It's been your dream; 'most every night
Then it came; your first flight
You spread your wings; it sure felt right
Above the ground, so high and free;
You could only think, it's meant to be
Ground school, flight school; summer and fall
So many lessons; to learn it all
Stalls and spins; and the lazy eight
You love to fly; but these you hate
Private, commercial; then ATP
A lot of work; you'll come to see
To build up time; you must agree
You'd fly anything; you'd fly for free
Snow streaks by, in your lights;
What a show, this cold winter night
Rain at the airport; dark and cold
Break out on top; a sight to behold
Cloud gives way; the storm is past
The air is smooth; your plane is fast

Coast to coast; you'll see it all
It's in your blood; you don't know why
You just can't stop; you've got to fly

Good Attitude
I remember sharing that attitude when I was 18 perhaps. A few years later the realities of life hit me in the face and I realized that I needed to be able to make a living as well.
The joy dims quite a bit when staring at the probability facing a lifetime of poverty.
