New day, new life but few chances to prove who i am
A face in the mirror but no expression is being shown
I can be the worst B!TCH but only to my self
My whole world is surrounded by people who are lost
They never play that part though
Because no one wants to admit that they are lost inorder to be found
Makes me wonder, just what caused them to lose their soul
Or better yet..... To get lost in the first place
I suppose if they did admit it, they would be playing the Victim and no one wants to be the Victim
Well these brand new wings i have now never fails me
They keep me warm in this Cold world
Most have their wings, but they just don't know how to fly
But i question myself,
who taught a new born baby to take their first breath?
Somethings in life can't be taught
That is why i am my OWN teacher
Because i see things others don't see and say things other fail to say
And i walk in my own path
Careful as ever because every step leads to a destination
so instead of taking steps...
I spread my wings and fly away
Never suspended in the air though
Because freedom has no limit
not wasting my time to look down when i am flying in the air
what's the point?
If it was as great as it was down there, i would still be taking baby steps
to a place where there is no end. Or should l be specific and say that the end is just the begining
Just like no one wants to take the time to give people a break
The end becomes the begining
Whats the point of having wings if there isn't anything i am flying away from.
In the end we all know that this is all a lie not these words though
Becuase they are my own
But our lives will forever be a lie
if we stop learning to fly
I will use My Brand New Wings
To fly to a place where nothing can come close enough to hurt me
