On a wing and a prayer

A3 drawing – 2024

Going with this picture is a little song/poem based on the opening of “The Greatest American Hero”, a silly old TV series I don’t even remember much about, but whose opening music I always liked.

Can’t I remember a lullaby?
Maybe I could use one myself
Talking seriously of the end of the world
Nothing seems left to wish for

Believe it or not, I’m still walking the earth
I never thought I could feel so old
Counting the days on a wing and a prayer
Whose time is this?
Believe it or not we’re still here

Should I remember the old days
Back when the fields felt so close?
Shining towers on top of the world
Are these our wishes come true?

Believe it or not, I’m still dreaming the rain
I never thought I could feel so sweet
Raising our chicks on a wing and a prayer
Whose story is this?
Believe it or not we’re still here
