Lyrics
Born with Wings
Mom and I helped you come this far
And baby girl you done good
It's time now to step aside
I know you're wishing we would
I get so proud when I look at you
Knowing all the great things you'll do
I'm gonna miss being there by your side
But you've got fire that won't be denied
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Set your sights on your destiny, never stop tryin'
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Like a nightingale singin', baby you were born with wings
I love you more than you know
But I've seen all the signs
I know what's in that far away look
That I've seen in your eyes
And though it hurts now to let you go
I'll do my best not to let it show
How can there be this much pain in goodbye
When I'm watching you take to the sky
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Set your sights on your destiny, never stop tryin'
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Like a nightingale singin', baby you were born with wings
The kind of wings meant to fly you to where you belong
Those kind of wings make me wish I could be just as strong
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Set your sights on your destiny, never stop tryin'
You were born with wings, and wings are for flyin'
Like a nightingale singin', babe you were born
All the bells started ringin', the day you were born
And I'll learn to stop clinging, 'cause baby you were born with wings
