Purple Songs Can Fly Project: Music
Fly Above the Sky
(Zachary, Purple Songs Can Fly Project)
Astronaut Scott Parazynski took the first 55 songs written with the Purple Songs Can Fly project into space on the Discovery Space Shuttle Mission. He carried them on 2 CDs and returned them to earth on Nov. 7, 2007. On March 12, 2008, Scott came to the Cancer Center to meet with the children and return the songs. Zachary wrote this song, Fly Above the Sky, with Purple Songs Can Fly as a thank you to Scott.
What is it like to be a doctor
and help the human race?
What is it like to be an astronaut
and walk around in space?
What is it like to dive in the deep
and explore the exotic sea?
I want to know
Because these are my dreams
To soar like an eagle
To swim with the fish
To scale the highest peaks
When you fly above the sky
When you're high above the clouds
Floating weightless with no worry
You have made your country proud
When you fly above the sky
Would you make a wish for me
And children all around the world
To follow their dreams
Some my call you a doctor
an astronaut or pilot
But I call you a hero
If they build it you can fly it
When you study about disease
My suffering's put at ease
When you dive into the deep blue sea
My imagination is set free
All that you've done
And all you hope to do
You've carried me along with you
When you fly above the sky
When you're high above the clouds
Floating weightless with no worry
You have made your country proud
When you fly above the sky
Would you make a wish for me
And children all around the world
To follow their dreams
