Everything around me seems so wrong
without my wings, I don't belong.

For some unknown reason
my shadow haunts me,
Confusion settles in and I quickly lock the door,
now my weakness causes pain even more...
Am I losing my mind?
if I re-open this door
What will I find?

Every time I try to fly I fall
without my wings, I feel so small.

My soul has been awakened
now on constant gaurd, refuse to be forsakened,
Every time I close my eyes
your face; it makes me realize...
In my dreams you won't hurt me
amongst the realm of dreams ~ I'm free!

Everything inside of me wants to be reached
without my wings, I'll always be breached.

At night I pray ~ your face will fade away
you promised you would always be near,
Every ounce inside me tells me to open my eyes
you'll go, you won't stay... you'll not reappear!
As I become uneasy, I wonder what really is
my ongoing fear...

Every time I breathe, deeper my heart sinks
without my wings, my purpose here shrinks.

To be so beautiful with so much to give,
you would think life would be easier to live;
Belief system is in desperate need of repair
for this heart is shattered,
Does it even matter that this heart can't
take any more dispair!
I want the people to know how much I care
even though this life doesn't seem fair!

Everything inside of me wants to reach out
to those of you; yes even YOU
Without my wings, I'm afraid that's just
something I can not do...
