Story behind the song
This song was written about the 3 biggest moments in my life that contribute to the woman I am today. I really did use to stand at the top of the stairs and wait for my big brother to introduce me and then put on a show for my toys and family. I really did wear a New Kids on the Block shirt to Church. I really did see a peaceful future in my soon to be hubby's eyes. Having your "own pair of wings" is courage, confidence, and a feeling of being on top of the world.
Lyrics
Own Pair of Wings
Little girl in her livin’ room singing into mommas broom
Had a blanket for a stage and daddy said she rocked the place
Big brother ran the flashlight and he had to introduce her right
Before she’d come down the stairs to a crowd full of teddy bears
PreChorus
I remember all the clappin’ and I believe that’s when it happened
*CHORUS*
Life felt so right I was lit up inside
Flyin’ high way up on a dream with my
Own pair of wings
Verse II
A few years down the road we were pickin out my church clothes
Mom let me hear the word in my New Kids on the Block shirt
Preachers’ wife filled up the tub and everyone there stood up
Yeah I didn’t know a lot but I made a promise to God
I remember all the clappin’ and I believe that’s when it happened
Repeat chorus
Verse III
About 30 years old, ready for to have and hold
I could look into his eyes and see bright blue skies
After we put our rings on they started playing our song
We were standing face to face and I knew it must be fate
I remember all the clappin’ and I believe that’s when it happened.
Repeat chorus Yeah I’m flying high way up on a dream with my own pair of wings
