I wanted piece of the happiness A young heart so eager to fly with the rest I preened down my feathers and tried my best To sneak out before my nightly rest
I held my breath My heart was beating Felt excited for my wings were truly open
In my early days my faith was strong I had to tell myself to ease my yearning heart In my darkest days my faith was gone I had to teach myself to heal my broken heart The sweet wind turned and carried me See, my wings were open
Using my sight like a hawk they sent I found the place where all they went Soon I was sure that night was all mine I didn't know I needed to hide
I held my breath The air was like a storm cloud And again my wings were truly broken
In my early days my faith was strong I had to tell myself to ease my yearning heart In my darkest days my faith was gone I had to teach myself to heal my broken heart The sweet wind turned and carried me See, my wings were open
My feathers all like sodden And bones, are all they broken? I'll take my leap of faith And relearn how to fly
My feathers all like sodden And bones, are all they broken? I'll take my leap of faith And relearn how to fly
In my early days my faith was strong I had to tell myself to ease my yearning heart In my darkest days my faith was gone I had to teach myself to heal my broken heart The cruel wind turned and let me down See, my wings were open
