lyrics

YOU DON’T NEED WINGS TO FLY

I was just a normal boy filled with childlike dreams
I could own the whole wide world and everything between
And just like an eagle way up in the sky
Life was free and easy, I had wings to fly
But my life changed forever on that fateful day
I guess the Lord had other plans and took my wings away,
Why me? Lord, why me?

Seems life has the strangest way of turning out alright
Although I lost my wings that day, I gained the will to fight
I guess my prayers were answered, though you may wonder how
Look up in the sky, you should see me now

You don’t need wings to fly if you can dare to dream
Make a stand for what’s inside your heart
You can reach the sky if you’ve got a reason
Open up your heart and let it cry
You don’t need wings to fly

She came down from Heaven, an Angel in disguise
She filled up my heart and put the fire back in my eyes
And like the eagle flying high above the land
She’s the wind beneath me so I can fly again

You don’t need wings to fly if you can dare to dream
Make a stand for what’s inside your heart
You can reach the sky if you’ve got a reason
Open up your heart and let it cry
You don’t need wings to

Fly, where you’ve never been
Into the great unknown
If there’s a burning dream inside you
Spread your wings and go
