Fly

I chose the song "Fly", off Maddie & Tae's debut album Start Here, as a song I believe is poetry. It's a song about not being afraid to chase your dreams, even if it might seem scary or difficult. To show this, the two use the imagery of climbing a tree to symbolize climbing towards your dreams. This image shows how difficult it can be to reach your goals, for "the ground might shake" and you could lose your balance or the limb you are holding may break, causing you to fall. They also say, "The road's been long and lonely and you feel like giving up". This use of imagery is used to show that the "road" to achieving your dreams may not always be easy, as there are not many sadder places to be than on a road all alone. But ultimately they say that all these "heavy steps" will help you get to the point where you have achieved your dreams and can "fly".
