What good are wings without the courage to fly
Just feathers and bones that never touch the sky
A life on the ground, safe but dull and dry
A yearning for more, but afraid to try
The wind whispers secrets of freedom and height
A beckoning call to take off in flight
To rise above troubles and lift out of sight
And soar through the clouds on wings of might
But fear grips tightly, pulling downward with force
A nagging voice that says "you're not enough, of course"
Doubts and uncertainties, they will stay the course
And keep you from reaching your destined source
Yet deep within a spark flickers and glows
A seed of courage waiting to unfurl and grow
A determination to break free from what's below
To rise to the heavens, to fly, and to glow
The journey begins with one step at a time
A stretching of wings, a choice to climb
Above the doubts, above the fears that bind
To find the courage and freedom in your mind
The first leap is the hardest, a test of your will
A plunge into the unknown, a moment to thrill
The rush of the wind, the tingle and chill
As your wings beat strong and you soar, at will
At first, it's uncertain, you wobble and weave
The feel of the currents, the pow'r to achieve
But soon you find rhythm, a balance to perceive
And before you know it, you're flying with ease
High above it all, the world is a scene
A patchwork of landscapes, ever so green
The sun rising and setting, a painted sheen
A beauty and wonder that can never be seen
Your wings carry you further, up among the stars
The universe opens, a canvas to explore
From planets to galaxies, forever we soar
Breathless and mesmerized, to the very core
What good are wings without the courage to fly
They're a symbol of promise, a reason to try
To be all you can be, to reach for the sky
And boldly soar, through a limitless high.
