A little pilot rock I wrote for Cabin Pressure's Martin Crieff :D

On My Way

As a child, flying filled my dreams
But then I realized, life’s not easy as it seems
I failed the pilot’s test several times before I passed
But then I made it, and I could fly at last

No one wanted me, so I applied at MJN
The chance was slim so I said I’d do what I can
Even if I had to work for little pay
I’m doing what I love and that’s okay

I’m a pilot and I don’t get paid
But that’s okay, I know that it’s okay ‘cause
I’m the captain, leader of this plane
I’m on my way, I know that I am on my way

I didn’t think that Carolyn would be so keen
She said I’m no captain, I said what do you mean?
She told me I could be the captain if I’d work for free
And I accepted, being daft old me

Now I’m a pilot, captaining a broken jet
I mean, it’s great, but I’m not getting paid yet
Why’s it always hard for me to feel like I fit in?
I  suppose it’s because I never win

I’m a pilot and I don’t get paid
But that’s okay, I know that it’s okay ‘cause
I’m the captain, leader of this plane
I’m on my way, I know that I am on my way

I wonder why life gives me such grief
But then I remembered that I’m Martin Crieff
I’m Captain Martin Crieff

I’m a pilot and I don’t get paid
But that’s okay, I know that it’s okay ‘cause
I’m the captain, leader of this plane
I’m on my way, I know that I am on my way

I’m on my way
