its like I always knew what it was,
but its like I didnt have what it takes..
so I just had to pull it outta me..

verse 1

how could I reach freedom, with no god in my life
possess the fountain of youth, and have no water in sight
equipped with everything I needed, didn't know I had the tools
But I'd broken all the rules, just to show that I was cool
end up back where I started, landing flat on my face
my pain, I dont expect you'd feel it, if u sat at my place
took a day to be me, and if u slipped in my shoes
ran a race, a day in my life, but missed all the clues
ate at my plate, laid where I slept, stayed where I hoped
things should lighten up, so I prayed I could cope
then soon I noticed notice how, that the flowin could hurt
If my Daughter wasnt raised right, so show her a church
focus on the path thats righteous, not the path that I took
cause you'll never know the story reading half of the book

hook(2x)
its the time for me to fly, and spread the wings on my back
(its time for me to fly)
like a Dove I'll soar the sky, and search for things that I lack
(like a Dove I'll soar the sky)
I'll make my life complete, with a piece of puzzle that fits
take the cards that I've been dealt, either love it or quit

verse 2

back as a crook, I never thought the hurt could be done
but my heart was cold and shook, and the surface was numb
every single night that I slept, dispite that I wept
I said a prayer that he might, make right what is left
its like I was blessed to write from the chest
despite what is next, even if it means that Im fightin for breath
full of life and refreshed, or cold like nights and depressed
this might be a test, or somethin like, my flight from the nest
but still I'm, cope'n the same, haven't broken the chains
and yeah I know its insane but still I'm hopin ta change
no longer off in a zone, cause now I'm walkin alone,
like Im the boss of my own, cause I was once lost but I'm home.

hook(2x)
its the time for me to fly, and spread the wings on my back
(its time for me to fly)
like a Dove I'll soar the sky, and search for things that I lack
(like a Dove I'll soar the sky)
I'll make my life complete, with a piece of puzzle that fits
take the cards that I've been dealt, either love it or quit
