WINGS

In my room and on my own
Watching sleepy sun tuck down
All my thoughts are scattered
As the evening clouds
I wish that I could join my thoughts
Leave this little room behind
Grow a pair of wings and fly
Higher than high

It matters not how hard I try
I still don’t have the wings to fly
And if I did
I’d only hit the ground
But I’ll keep on keeping on
Trusting that it can be done
That some day
I’ll leave this universe behind

Flowers following the sun
Tuck their tiny heads well down
Darkness sneaks along
To kiss my tired eyes
Everybody sleeps with hope
Hope of seeing better days
There are days you cannot lose
For those who chose
