LILT: Spring 1.0

It's a bit shaky, but it's a first draft:
Atop a tall bridge right up high
A man stands up feeling small
He stands there with his arms held wide
A mob forms below his pedestal
But I don't want to miss out either
I want to get in so much nearer
I get right up close to the scene
And scream

The man's wanting to climb back down
The people begin to really hate
They compress to a tight crowd
They don't want to let him escape
So he finds that he must return
And the mob then begins to stir
They want him to vent his spleen
And they scream

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

Now the man begins to weep
A cloud moves quietly in
He sees what he has now reaped
Before the sun it goes dim
I just want to be at the scene
The people start to surge and teem
And to look up into the evening
And they're screaming

Fly

They're screaming
Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

A cloud moves quietly in
Before the sun it goes dim
But a thousand suns burn just for you
Behind him on the bridge I sneak
From behind I kick him in the back
I am his redemption
I scream at him

Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly
For my delight
