Victory of Flying - Carolyn Wonderland

When I was younger I had a great hunger

Desire that yet had no name

Then I grew wings, left the branch and felt the sting

I found the nest and the ground aren’t the same

I kept my head low, tried to walk with the crows

While they cut my head and took all my scratch

It no longer burdened me, thieves they had set me free

I needed lightness to stay on my path

I need lightness to stay on my path

CH:

An open wing always gathers more wind and rain

But can you live without fear of dying?

The price I’ve paid, and all the beds I’ve made

Were worth it all for the victory of flying

There was mud all around, covering all that I’ve found,

Mostly trash that was once someone’s treasure

I built a home.

When it rained it was gone

So I stretched my wings for good measure.

The pull of the sky had me dream I could fly

I would watch and learn, but I couldn’t wait

So I did my part, took a running start

And dove head first into my fate

I dove head first into my fate.

Lord, help a girl who can’t wait
