Fly

Alone she stands on the concrete bridge
Enveloped by the sunless sky
Down she stares at the hardened road
All she wants is the chance to fly
Her heart is silent, it dare not pound
Her tears are gone, her eyes are dry
The moment has come, she has no fear
Now it is her chance to fly

Her heart's been locked up for far to long
She can't even remember what went wrong
She's lost her way and she can't go back
The road's too dark, the sky too black
Her soul is caged, her wings are tied
But one way or another, she's going to fly

The wind blows cool against her face
It whispers with a mournful sigh
She lifts her foot upon the rail
All she wants is her chance to fly
There's no one to tell her to carry on
And she's lost the will to even try
Closer she inches to the edge
She's going to take her chance and fly

Her heart's been locked up for far to long
She can't even remember what went wrong
She's lost her way and she can't go back
The road's too dark, the sky too black
Her soul is caged, her wings are tied
But one way or another, she's going to fly

The air rises up to brush her skin
As she breathes a soft goodbye
Her arms stretch out to catch the wind
All she wants is her chance to fly
She lets the pain wash over her
As she hears the cars rumbling by
She can feel herself falling fast
And she knows it is her time to fly

Her heart's been locked up for far to long
She can't even remember what went wrong
She's lost her way and she can't go back
The road's too dark, the sky too black
Her soul is caged, her wings are tied
But one way or another, she's going to fly

Her tiny prayer is lifted up
In one last desperate, broken cry
The latch releases and sets her free
She finally got her chance to fly
