Never Meant To Fly

Before the storm I held my breath And looked up at the sky I dreamed that I could fly And I went flying And I flew so high And I could see for miles And I was beautiful And I was strong And I could carry you And I could carry everyone And I said it out loud People were never meant to fly And I cried out People were never meant to fly Before the storm I held my breath And looked up at the sky And I knew that I could fly And I went flying And I flew so high And I could see for miles And I was beautiful And I was strong And I could carry you And I could carry everyone And I said it out loud People were never meant to fly And I cried out People were never meant to fly And I shouted out People were never meant to fly And I whispered People were never meant to fly And in the falling rain I learned the shape of loss The sky was never mine But still I reached across For every broken wing For every fading flame I held the ache of hope And called your name After the storm I held my breath And looked back at the sky I learned that I could fall And still survive And I walked on through the miles With trembling, steady hands I was wounded, I was brave I was afraid And I could carry you And I could carry everyone And I said it out loud People were never meant to fly And I cried out People were never meant to fly And I held it close People were never meant to fly And I let it go People were never meant to fly
