My wings have been torn Maybe ever since I've been born For some reason why Society doesn't want us to fly Or maybe it's just us Who holds ourselves back We blame others And think they keep us off track In reality it's us And it's all it ever was What if we were made to soar And not cry or let our blood drip on the floor We're just too selfish to get the things that we want No, you don't need to flaunt And make others feel bad Instead of happy, they're just sad We're broken in pieces Because we fell from the sky Little did we know, our wings were growing for us to fly.

Wings
My wings have been torn Maybe ever since I've been born For some reason why Society doesn't want us to fly Or maybe it's just us Who holds ourselves back We blame others And think they keep us off track In reality it's us And it's all it ever was What if we were made to soar And not cry or let our blood drip on the floor We're just too selfish to get the things that we want No, you don't need to flaunt And make others feel bad Instead of happy, they're just sad We're broken in pieces Because we fell from the sky Little did we know, our wings were growing for us to fly.
Here's to the people who feel what I feel, to those who think they can't soar.
