She misinterprets my intentions time and time again
Locked behind the bars that she has built with her own hands
As I throw her the key, she turns away from me
What can I do to make her hear the promises I speak?

Those who have ears let them hear
Your moment will soon disappear

Like a sparrow taking flight
Encumbered by your fright
Why won't you let me guide you to the light?
I'm holding out my heart
To show you where to start
Don't fly away you're tearing me apart

Sick of being injured, she'd like a chance to fly
But her poor wings are wounded by a life she often hides
Searching for forgiveness and hoping she'll be found
Looking to the sky, but feeling fastened to the ground

Lift up your eyes don't have fear
Your moment of truth is near

Like a sparrow taking flight
Encumbered by your fright
Why won't you let me guide you to the light?
I'm holding out my heart
To show you where to start
Don't fly away you're tearing me apart

Oh, I want to be an eagle she cried
'Cause I know there could be so much more
But I'm too afraid to soar

Like a sparrow taking flight
Encumbered by your fright
Why won't you let me guide you to the light?
I'm holding out my heart
To show you where to start
Don't fly away you're tearing me apart
