Defeat in the dirt
 
  I thought I saw a ripple in the sky
before I came crashing down
a ripple of hope, breath of a dream
I've got clouds in my mind
while tasting the ground
It would seem
I have failed
in this flight that I've taken
Defeat in the dirt
brings questions unkind
In spreading my wings
have I been mistaken?
Persistence is born of true hearts endeavour
Effort renewed by need and desire
This time I think I'll try to fly higher
If I must I'll keep trying all the days of forever
