Spawned

1965

The year I came alive

I didnt have to try

It's like I fell out of the sky

My dad gave out a sigh

My mom began to cry

But they always had the drive

And they kept this kid alive

I was a sickly little guy

Often looking like I might die

Yet half a century down

And I'm still strutting around town

I'm known to wear a frown

Yet act more like a clown

And I'm reminded to always try

When I remember that fish can fly

I do my best to live

I dont want to die

I never will surrender

I'll always reach for the sky

I am more than a pretender

Sometimes even fish fly
