Lyrics

Don't Clip Your Own Wings

[Verse 1]
She's been playin' small in a world so wide,
Waitin' on someone to say she's right,
She dims her fire just to keep the peace,
But she was born for somethin' wild and free.

[Pre-Chorus]
She keeps hidin' that spark, afraid to shine,
But the sky's already hers to climb.

[Chorus]
DON'T CLIP P YOUR OWN WINGS, don't ground your soul,
You were made for the wind, let the truth take hold.
The world's gonna doubt you, let 'em talk, let 'em sting,
But FLY ANYWAY -- DON'T CLIP YOUR OWN WINGS.

[Verse 2]
She's got dreams tucked deep in a drawer,
Notes and sketches no one's seen before,
Every scar's a story that built her fight,
Every wrong turn still led to light.

[Pre-Chorus - tender resolve, slight rasp, imperfect phrasing]
It's a long road, yeah, it's never kind,
But the cage is only there in your mind.

[Chorur]
DON'clip YOUR OWN WINGS, don't ground your soul,
You were made for the wind, let the truth take hold.
Let the storms roll in, let the thunder ring,
But FLY ANYWAY -- DON'T CLIP YOUR OWN WINGS.

[Bridge]
Fear'll whisper, "stay safe, don't try,"
But there's no peace if you never fly.
Even broken feathers still can soar,
You were meant for so much more.

[Final Chorus]
DON'T CLIP YOUR OWN WINGS, don't trade your sky,
Don't let doubt be the reason why.
You're the only one who can change the thing --
So FLY ANYWAY -- DON'T CLIP YOUR OWN WINGS.

[Outro]
Fly anyway...
Don't clip your own wings.
