Did no one notice
The wings on your back
The wind in your heart
And the freedom in your spirit?
Do they think they can change you
Make you stay
Make you be
Everything you never wanted to be?
Do they think someone like you
Should be held back
Kept down
Or held in one place
As if you belong there forever?
Did no one ever see
The you that I saw
The you that jumps out from your skin
From your speech
From every action and movement
In your mind and body?
I celebrate what I saw
Who I met
And the person you'll become.
I would never regret
The time we didn't have
Or could have had
Because you became
A part of me
And I became
A part of you.
Spread your wings
The ones they laughed at
The ones they tried to tie up
The ones they claimed were only for show
You knew when you were young
You were destined to fly
So fly...
Higher than anyone can imagine
Further than you ever thought
And stronger than they ever thought you were.
I saw your wings
And wanted to ride
But those wings are yours
Ready to take you
Where you want to go.
Spread your wings little girl
Because I've always known you can.
You have wings
Did no one notice
That your wings were real?
