When You Fly…

Walking home one day I saw a little bird

And I said to myself what in the world

That’s the plainest bird I’ve seen

Well there’s no color on her wings

But then she flew…

All the colors of the brightest sunset took to flight

All the splash of a thousand copper clouds against the sky

Unseen treasure was hid beneath those heavy wings

But when she lifted them I saw what hope really means

Just goes to show the plain they see when you’re walking by

Can’t be compared to the beauty they’ll see when you fly.

I thought of you and how it seems that few can see you worth

And how you try so hard it seems to hide your pain with your mirth

Just wait until the time arrives

The day your wings will come alive

And then you’ll fly…

And all the colors of the brightest sunset will take to flight

All the splash of a thousand copper clouds against the sky

Unseen treasure is hid beneath your heavy wings

But when you lift them we’ll all see what hope really means

Just goes to show the plain they see when you’re walking by

Can’t be compared to the beauty they’ll see when you fly!

Cause you’re gonna fly!
