LIGHT ENOUGH TO FLY

(Guiro + Musical Saw · Smooth Male Vocal)

Tempo: relaxed but elastic (≈70 BPM, allowed to breathe).

Guiro: constant presence, close-mic’d, dry, subtly varying scrape patterns—never identical twice.

Musical Saw: non-rhythmic lead texture, bowed slowly with expressive vibrato, entering and exiting like wind.

Vocals: smooth male voice, unforced, conversational, quietly melodic.

No section should feel looped—each pass evolves slightly.

Easy now, I’m dropping what I don’t need

Every heavy thought got a gravity

I don’t wrestle clocks, I don’t chase their hands

I let the breeze tell me where I stand

I been folding maps I never used

Cutting loose the extra truth

I move lighter every mile

Feet barely touching ground awhile

Keep it easy

keep it moving ahead

Paint it forward

leave the words you said

Keep it easy

let the air decide

If it makes you lighter

let it ride

I met a boy who never packed his years

Said growing old is optional fear

He laughed at rules written in sand

Said “fly what you can, don’t over-plan”

Lost boys dancing on borrowed time

Wooden decks and crooked rhymes

They don’t fight the dark, they glow

Like sparks that never learned to slow

CHORUS (VARIATION)

Keep it easy

keep your pockets clear

If it pulls you downward

don’t bring it near

Keep it easy

feel the lift begin

What you let go of

lets you in

No hooks in my pockets

No anchors in my shoes

I learned how to lose

What I don’t need to choose

You don’t stay young

By standing still

You stay young

By following will

FINAL CHORUS

Keep it easy

keep it moving ahead

Paint it forward

yeah, live what you said

Keep it easy

feel the sky behave

If it helps you fly

that’s the way
