Story Behind The Song
The song speaks about recognizing our connection to the cosmos and our source and that we have no limitations if only we recognize our power and connect with that source.
Song Description
An epic, inspirational rock song that says you can be whatever you want to be. The chorus is: "You're what you wish you are / So spread your wings" The song has a slow power rock feel ala Led Zeppelin's "When The Levy Breaks". Under heavy guitar power chords and big drums there are blues undertones of slide acoustic guitar and mandolins. It has an uplifting, empowering feeling like Queen's "We Are The Champions"

Lyrics
gather 'round the water,
dunk your head, reach up for the sky
all you sons and daughters
getting what you want from when you try
free to be; not wonder why
kiss the girls and make them cry
everywhere you go, there you remain
(CHORUS)
you're what you wish you are...
so spread your wings
we did not come this far
for petty things
it's not a shooting star
that's gonna take you there
you're what you wish you are
so spread your
drink in Muddy Water
kiss the ground; reach down through the sky
all our sons and daughters
leaving what they know; take to the sky
free to be; not wonder why
kiss the girls and make them cry
everywhere you go, there you remain
you're what you wish you are...
so spread your wings
we did not come this far
for petty things
it's not a shooting star
that's gonna take you there
you're what you wish you are
so spread your
you're what you wish you are...
