Cut cut snip snip My wings bullies clip Kill it- don’t let it grow Is their collective motto The gravity that keeps me earthbound With my feet anchored to the ground Is lies, smears, ugly words of hate I hope help comes before it’s too late I want to fly away far from them To keep from sinking I must swim But they ensure that I don’t fly And those who can help ignore my cry
To ensure I continue kneeling They keep me from healing My virtues they scorn I can’t get airborne They can’t stand to see me soar Despising me down to their core I want to fly high above the crowds And soar beyond the clouds I want to see the bright sunshine And reclaim what once was mine The pressure of their hate Is like a millstone weight Keeping me shackled As they viciously heckle I’m locked in an invisible prison With walls that block my vision Of happiness and freedom And the realization of my own kingdom
But one day I’ll heal these broken wings And fly away to better things With a little personal sacrifice I’m fly away to my own paradise I’m break their anchors and chains And fly away from these pains. I’ll escape this quagmire And build my own empire God will hear my cries And I’ll touch the skies With broken wings turned to scars I’ll fly high enough to reach the stars
