Your Wings

They clip your wings when you fly too high They don't want you to go where their chains could never hold They take your soul when you go too loud Say you're treading onto very thin ice

Do the birds know they're supposed to land Or do they grow tired of flapping their wings? Does the thunder know it's deafening Or do the oceans know they're trembling?

They clip your wings when you fly too high Too much for them, too strong to deny Oh, the pedestal they said you'd grow out from You just suffocate while they're all around

They clip your wings when you go too far The life you thought you would always have Travelled so far just to be caged in daylight You never know when to give up, no, you don't

No, you don't, you never do, you never do You never do, you never do

Do the bees collect honey for the generations to come? Do the seeds know they'll bloom right where they are? Do the mountains know they're far too grand? If we do get the choice, what would you have done?

Oh, they clip your wings when you soar so high Free, and it's all you want, you never tire Until one day you stopped growing wings You free fall into the what-could've-beens

Oh, they clip your wings when you soar so high Free, and it's all you want, you never tire Until one day you stopped growing wings You free fall into the what-could've-beens

Oh, they clip your wings when you soar so high Free, and it's all you want, you never tire Until one day you stopped growing wings You free fall into the what-could've-beens
