I want to be free
Nobody hovering over me
To have room
To have time
Time
To spread my wings
Trying to fly
Flap
Flap
Flap
Only a few feet
Off the ground
Where's my strength?
My strength to take off?
My family...
They try pushing
They show me that
That my wings are fragile
They hold me
They care for me
Maybe...
Just maybe...
Leaving the nest
Can wait a little longer
Maybe...
I can hife my wings
And feel the love
Of the ones around me
I dont want to be free
I dont want to go
Not yet...
Hold me in your wings
Hokd me closer in your arms
