Someday you shall meet someone Who's gonna look at you in awe- Flying high, wings all spread, And wonder how it'd be like To clip those wings, Tie those feet down, And cage you forever... When you hit the ground, Remember to run

Sanhita Baruah
About This Quote

"When you hit the ground, remember to run" is a real-life poem by John Lennon. It's one of many songs written by him, but the only one he is known to have performed live. The song was written when Lennon was in India in 1968, pondering his future, and also his relationship with Yoko Ono. He wrote it after watching an eagle fly toward trees in the distance, then fly away with something in its talons.
