Take to the Sky
I’m breaking free, there’s no turning back
I have everything I need, there is nothing I lack
I think I’m all set and ready to go
Started planning my escape a long time ago
Once I’m free from this cage that has no bars
I can fly, I can soar, I can on mars
How sweet will my freedom be?
To live, love, laugh, and just be me
I stretched my wings to give them a test
Should I pick a day I’m feeling my best?
Because looking over the edge all I can see
Nothing but rocks and a foamy sea
Wait…if my wings don’t work, what will become of me?
Hey! When breaking free there’s no thinking like that
Doubt and fear will steal your joy like a rat
Know that the first flight is always be the scariest
And the distance one must travel, it’s also the wariest
I’m breaking free there’s no keeping me here
I’m running late there’s no time to spare
See they are waiting for me to shine my light
I’ll sing and dance with all my might
So must flap and flap if I want to rise
No weapon formed against me shall be my demise
Armed with nothing but my hopes and a dreams
But standing behind me there’s a team
Of Ancestors and loved ones from long ago
With them nothing that can defeat me, not even a ‘no’
So, I’m breaking free and today is the day
Whether its right or wrong time can only say
But this is my life and I only get one chance
And if today’s my last day, then I might as well dance
