Wings

Verse 1

I watched you pass me by like I was nothing in your way,

Just another quiet face in a world too loud to stay.

You never saw the fire I kept buried in my chest—

Just the boy you overlooked while chasing all the rest.

Verse 2

I tried to speak your language but my voice just hit the floor,

Every word I never said got heavier than before.

You lived in silver smoke, I was fighting through the rain—

You were blinded by your sunlight; I was drowning in the pain.

Chorus

But then the night got dark and the world turned cold,

And you reached for a hand that you thought you didn’t know.

In that moment of fear, I stepped into the storm—

You looked at me different, like my heart had changed form.

Yeah, everything shifted when the truth broke free—

When you finally saw me.

Verse 3

You said you never knew I had that strength inside my bones,

You’d been looking at a shadow, not the fire I’d grown.

I wasn’t chasing you then—I was saving my own name,

But somehow in the chaos, you found love inside the flame.

Verse 4

Now you’re standing here shaking with your guard all on the ground,

Saying you were lost in noise until you heard my sound.

I don’t know if I should run, or let you in my life again—

But your eyes look like an answer to a question I never penned.

Chorus

But when the night got dark and the world turned cold,

And you reached for a hand that you thought you didn’t know—

I stepped through the fire just to set you free,

And you looked at me different, like you finally could see.

Yeah, your whole world shifted when the truth broke free—

When you finally saw me.

Bridge (soft → explosive)

Whispered words…

Broken dreams…

We both stood trembling on the edge of what it means…

Band crashes back in—heavy, emotional, huge build]

Bridge (final line)

And now you’re reaching for the heart you used to leave behind…

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, louder, last line screamed)

When the night got dark and the world turned cold,

I became the story you never got told.

Now you swear you see forever when you look at me—

But this time…

I finally see me.
