[Lyric] Wings (Danny K. Bernstein)

[Verse 1]
I see someone beyond those around them
More special than any I've known
So mindful and wise
It's no wonder they feel so alone

[Verse 2]
I see someone whose only grown brighter
Like a beacon of light that won't fade
I see someone who sees this as well
But it makes them afraid

[Verse 3]
Afraid that the world will care that you wear
Your rarity like a scar
Afraid that they'll see you truly may be
As different from them as you are
For you are

[Chorus]
You have wings
You have wings I can see
They are hidden and small
But in no time at all
Imagine how grеat they could be
You have wings
You'rе made to fly
If only you knew how they long to be free
You need only know that you only need
To try

[Verse 4]
I see well all around you a country
As cruel and as vain as it's cold
That would have you believe you'd do best
Doing just what you're told

[Verse 5]
Ive seen all the ways you've been frightened
By the horrible things people do
But I see the truth
Is that they are more frightened by you

[Verse 6]
They're frightened to see how wrong they may be
About all those like me and like you
They're frightened to gaze upon all the amazing
Miracles you could do
If only you knew

[Chorus]
You have wings
You have wings peaking out
Like a sword and sheath
They are hidden beneath this unloving layer of doubt
But you have wings
You're made to fly
If only you'd see all the magic you'd make
You would be free to spread them and take to the sky

[Bridge]
And soar higher than mountains and faster than others can run
No longer afraid to come out of the shade to the sun
You can face those who call for the day you fall
And finally leave them behind
Once you're free
Once you see
The ties that bind are only in your mind

[Verse 7]
But these words that i say very well never may give
The courage you need to grow
But i still believe you'll take off from the soil
And rightfully leave what's below
Soon as you know
How i wish you could know

[Chorus]
You have wings
You have wings to be found
They're splendid and strong
And they yearn and they long
To lift you away from the ground
You have wings
You're made to fly

[Outro]
And i only prey
You see all that you're worth
For that is the day you bid walking the Earth
Goodbye
