Kris Delmhorst - Little Wings Lyrics
Today I went flying in my favorite patch of skyI circled and I circled above the world so highAnd I thought to myself, what a lovely lovely thingTo be up here with the clouds, to be flying right out loud on little wingsThen I met a 747, then he knocked me right out of the skyHe landed down beside me, he looked me in the eye and saidI don't know why you even bother, I don't know why you even tryI don't know where you hope to get to, I don't know how you hope to fly on those little wingsLittle wingsLittle wingsLittle wingsNow I don't want to be a jet airliner, I just want to be a little birdI don't want to rip the skies wide open, I just want my song to be heardAnd I don't want to be state of the art, I don't want to get there overnightI just want to be part of all this beauty, want to be part of all this flight on little wingsI'll never be a flea in your circus, I'll never be a prop up on your stage,I'll never be one more little songbird you can try to keep inside your cage,You're never gonna tell me where to fly, you're never gonna tell me what to singAnd if I end up lost and all alone at least I know I got there on my own two little wingsI guess that you reap what you sowI guess it gets lonely at the topI guess it gets harder and harderTo ever really know just when to stop
