Was I afraid
when I was young
or I just followed
the whispers in the wind
those whispers
didn't disappear
even when time
has past
they keep telling me
stand back
don't go,
just stay.
but my heart
screams
take flight
and do what you must
ignore the whispers
in the wind.
So I listened to my heart
and took flight
I did what I must
and spread my wings
I'm still hearing whispers
to stand back
don't go,
just stay
So I listened well
to the silent whispers
Now I realized I was
missing something
it said
Stand (OUT! never go) back
don't (wait, just) go
just stay ( and let the wind carry you).
