Spread My Wings
I think of these things all the time
these things that I feel like
These times that go this way
The trying’s always on my mind
I’m strong because I have to be
We all have our own things
I’m wondering how to fly
With broken wings
Who’s going to sing from offstage
Who’s going to dance at the parade
If I don’t show up
When I’ve been at head of things
For so long so I’ll try to do it anyway
Even if I’m not okay
CHORUS
You will know me by the way I try
The way I spread my wings and fly
Never ending, ever changing
in a pain no one can really comprehend
no matter how much I explain
Living life in maybe so-s
And what ifs
And I’m not really
Afraid of the abyss
I just don’t want to live
Frustrated helpless
Shackled with an impotence
I don’t want to show
There are things I can’t control
sudden winds that strongly blow
I plan as much as I can
For things that I can’t know
CHORUS
You will know me by the way I try
The way I spread my wings and fly
Never ending, ever changing
in a pain no one can really comprehend
no matter how much I explain
BRIDGE
To you, that it really doesn’t end
You just live it day by day
Sometimes it’s five or ten
you lay down and you get up again
If I’m lucky you’ll distract me
In a nice way
And I’ll forget … for a little bit
CHORUS
You will know me by the way I try
The way I spread my wings
And fly
You will know me by the way I try
The way I spread my wings and fly
Never ending, ever changing
in a pain I hope one day you’ll comprehend
every time that I explain
You will know me by the way I try
The way I spread my wings
And fly
You both did a great job with this one, it is a beautifully put together song.
