Lyrics

You hold your head out away from the crowd
And watch the meeker go by
I've never seen anybody so proud
Small wings to fly

Desperate to show all that you have acheived
You step up to pull down the sky
The whole world will gather and you have received
Small wings to fly

I remember you taking your first steps away
When you promised me always to try
Now you hover above me today
Small wings to fly

If you close your eyes you will fall, my friend
If you turn your head away
If you close your eyes you will glide no more
And be thrown back down to stay

All your life you have looked to the sun
And dreamed of being so high
So you never come down just to touch anyone
Small wings to fly

If you close your eyes you will fall, my friend
If you turn your head away
If you close your eyes you will glide no more
And be thrown back down to stay

I have made you a bed on the ground
In case your frenzy runs dry
Or if the winter should turn you around
Small wings to fly
