about

week two of WWSW: topic was: what it might feel like to fly

lyrics

When I was a kid/ I thought I saw an angel/ No one else saw her/ but I did/ And the memory stayed with me like a stranger/ never leaving/ never fully knowing what was in front of me/ who was in front of me/ go back inside, kid/ you don’t know where she’s been/ hold onto to what you know, child/ you’ll never tame the wind it’s wild/DaVinci never flew/ human’s are simply doomed/ to walk this earth/ and never know/ the birds quiet flight/ into the night/ When I first saw her/ could’ve sworn I was in a dream/ there she was standing/ with her giant feathered wings/ “I’m here to take you away,” she said/ with her eyes/ she didn’t speak/ “To liberate you, to give you the freedom that comes with wings”/go back inside kid/ you don’t know where she’s been/ hold onto what you know child/ you’ll never tame the wind, it’s wild/ DaVinci never flew, humans are simply doomed/ to walk this earth/and never know a birds quiet flight into the night/ hold on tight/ what I would give to kiss the sky/ what I would give to never touch this earth again/ what can I trade you/ I asked/ nothing she replied/ the sky, it freely gives/ when I was a child/ I thought I saw an angel/ But I was wrong/ she was just like me/ two eyes/ two hands/ two feet/ and a mouth/ and a pair of wings/ that she could never, never live without
