IT'S ALL ABOUT WINGS is a small tribute lyrics to Poncho (Florence) Barnes, a woman pilot in the early days of American Aviation who was larger than life in so many ways! It's also my True Wish that I could fly...so far, have only made it in my dreams....

IT'S ALL ABOUT WINGS

CHORUS

It's all about wings, darlin'
When you're a sweet bird
Or even a Mayfly up in some sky
Waitin' for a matin'
Singin' and a'flappin'
Gonna get me wings, baby,
by and by
Gotta get me wings, child,
by and by

I've been divin' down into the sea
Thirty feets deep and sometimes more...
The Ocean is a mighty place to live in -
Still, I want'a be in the Sky much more...
Want'a break through Sound and even Light -
Want'a make a flap with my Self so high:
Not even the Angels will catch my drift -
I'll be clouds of feathers as I fly by!

When I think about flyin' I be thinkin'
About Poncho Barnes and her love of flight:
That woman was somethin': a liberated Flyin' Thing -
Flyin' all day and partyin' all night...
I ain't sayin' I want'a be a wild thing -
I'm just sayin': Be nice to get free...
Be good to go up jus above all this misery -
Be great to be flyin' as alive as can be....
