Teacher Turned Student

Fish out of water
Bird on the ground
Being out of your element
Is something profound

From king of the jungle
To just one more face
Starting everything new
And pleading your case

Taking a step
And letting things go
Banking on a future
You have yet to know

And memories are haunting
Faces in your dreams
And catching your breath
Is harder than it seems

Feeling short of purpose
The teacher with out a class
Has now become the student
Studying hard to pass

I'm sure that you'll find
A place where you're free
To swim or to fly
Which ever you'll be.
