Fly Away Paper Plane


Fly Away Paper Plane

(Upbeat Afrobeat rhythm starts with driving drums, 

bass guitar, and subtle keyboard melodies. A catchy guitar riff enters.)


**(Verse 1 - Lead Vocalist) **

Look around you, see the things we make

From humble start, for goodness's sake!

Just paper thin, in simple hand it lies

But clever mind, it reaches the skies!

Small folding here, a tucking over there

Ingenuity dey everywhere!

From nothing much, we build a tiny wing

And watch it dance, the joy it brings!


**(Chorus - All Voices with layered harmonies) **

Paper plane o! Fly away o!

Small small thing, show mighty way o!

Gravity dey hold us down so tight

But for a while, we take the flight!

Paper plane o! Lesson clear o!

Physics power, no be fear o!

Simple effort, see the wonder rise

Surprise your eyes, reach for the skies!


**(Verse 2 - Lead Vocalist) **

No engine roar, no fuel to ignite

Just careful crease and throwing with all might!

A symbol strong, of freedom we embrace

To break the chains and find our own space!

The wind beneath, a force we understand

Lift us up high, across the land!

Though short the time, the feeling sweet and true

A moment's flight, for me and for you!


**(Chorus - All Voices with more energetic harmonies) **

Paper plane o! Fly away o!

Small small thing, show mighty way o!

Gravity dey hold us down so tight

But for a while, we take the flight!

Paper plane o! Lesson clear o!

Physics power, no be fear o!

Simple effort, see the wonder rise

Surprise your eyes, reach for the skies!


**(Bridge - Instrumental break with prominent percussion 

and guitar solo with Afrobeat influences) **


**(Verse 3 - Lead Vocalist) **

No need for big, no need for all the gold

Small dedication, story to unfold!

This paper bird, a teacher plain to see

Little by little, victory!

So don't you doubt the power in your hand

A simple start, across the land!

Believe in small, believe in what you do

Surprising things can come from you!


**(Chorus - All Voices with powerful and rhythmic harmonies, 

fading out with ad-libs and instrumental flourishes) **


Paper plane o! Fly away o!

Small small thing, show mighty way o!

Gravity dey hold us down so tight

But for a while, we take the flight!

Paper plane o! Lesson clear o!

Physics power, no be fear o!

Simple effort, see the wonder rise

Surprise your eyes... fly high... fly high... o!

(Music fades out with drum and guitar rhythms)

The Paper Plane Life

The Paper Plane Life   (Verse 1) A crisp white sheet, a world untold, Small fingers fumble, brave and bold. The initial folds of childhood...
