There are those people in your life
Those whose wings are getting fully exercised
Stretched out wide with the start of the day
A few feathers dropped by the end of it

Their eyes look out with a clear view of forward
Their ears receive without distorted dilution
Their mouths express with a founded opinion
And you know they are tired when they go to sleep

It's a day and age where our futures are uncertain
It's a time where perception is easier to distort than clarify
It's an age of morphing reality and multiplying divides
So them with their stretched out wings are easy to admire

Maybe your vision is idealistic
Maybe they have trouble too
Maybe they worked through what you're afraid of
But you can't help but feel a little left behind sometimes

You'll still pursue the unspoken and rarely admitted tactics
You'll still look around for the ground to begin planting
You'll still hold on to the beauteous aspects of your reflection
But I'll forgive you if you're still afraid of flying
