Wistful Wings
You weren’t scared to take a chance –
No, you weren’t afraid to fail;
You came to lead the dance,
You came to hoist the sail.
They said you would fall
If you climbed too high;
“Put away those wistful wings,
‘Cause you will never fly.”
You climbed the mountain to the top,
And rode clouds across the sky;
You kept going when they said “Stop!” –
Lived on when they said “Die.”
They said you would fall
If you climbed too high;
“Put away those wistful wings,
‘Cause you will never fly.”
Now your life says to us all,
“It’s not over until you die –
The only way to truly fail
Is to never try.”
They said you would fall
If you climbed too high;
“Put away those wistful wings,
‘Cause you will never fly.”
You weren’t scared to take a chance –
No, you weren’t afraid to fail;
You came to lead the dance,
You came to hoist the sail.
They said you would fall
If you climbed too high;
But you amazed them all
When you learned to fly.
