I had the chorus for this one simmering in my head for about a month now. I knew it was about my sister, and then in light of her recent struggles, the rest of the song just sort of fell into place. This is everything I wish she’d know about herself.
Standing at these same crossroads with your back against the wind
You feel like you’re on the edge of a cliff as you brace yourself for the fall
I know you want to hide
Hoping that no one will find you
You never have to feel that small ’cause…
Baby, you’re going to fly
You’re going to soar
You’re going to open those broken wings and be so much more than you know You’ll walk on the moon and dance with the stars
Twirling in circles of light
So just hold your head high
Baby, reach for the sky
You may not know it tonight
But I look in those eyes and I see that someday you’re going to fly
You’ve shielded yourself from the world
Wrapped yourself up so you’ll never get hurt
I know you think it’s impossible to bridge this distance
If only you could see your beauty inside and out
And pull yourself up before you drown
Don’t you know you have so much to offer, if only you give yourself a chance ’cause…
Baby, you’re going to fly
You’re going to soar
You’re going to open those broken wings and be so much more than you know You’ll walk on the moon and dance with the stars
Twirling in circles of light
So just hold your head high
Baby, reach for the sky
You may not know it tonight
But I look in those eyes and I see that someday you’re going to fly
No matter how far, I’ll pull you up again
No matter how wide, I’ll push the tide away
I’ll shelter you from the rain, wipe all your tears and see those blue eyes shine…
Baby, you’re going to fly
You’re going to soar
You’re going to open those broken wings and be so much more than you know You’ll walk on the moon and dance with the stars
Twirling in circles of light
So just hold your head high
Baby, reach for the sky
You may not know it tonight
But I look in those eyes and I see that someday you’re going to fly
Baby, you’re going to fly
You’re going to soar
You’re going to open those broken wings and be so much more than you know You’ll walk on the moon and dance with the stars
Twirling in circles of light
So just hold your head high
Baby, reach for the sky
You may not know it tonight
But I look in those eyes and I see that someday you’re going to fly
