For My Brother Lee Beck
These are the lyrics to Pink Floyd’s “Learning to Fly”.
I am dedicating this song to my bother who is no long with us.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
My brother Lee Beck
A soul intention, that’s learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My brother Haley, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream un-threatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There’s no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can’t keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I.

All I can say friend is that there is an appointed time that every one of us will be leaving mother earth… it’s just that some go ahead while some still remain because they have missions still to fulfill.
