Lyrics

Don't Clip Your Own Wings

[Verse 1]
I've been playin' small in a world so wide
Waitin' on someone to say I'm right
I dim my fire just to keep the peace
But I was born for somethin' wild and free

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep hidin' that spark, afraid to shine
But the sky's already mine to climb

[Chorus]
DON'T CLIP 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]
Got dreams tucked deep in a drawer
Notes and sketches no one's seen before
Every scar's a story that built my fight
Every wrong turn still led to light

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long road, yeah, it's never kind
But the cage is only there in your mind

[Chorus]
DON'T 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
