DS - Learning to Fly

Well, I’ve been walking down these same old streets,

Feels like I’m tangled up in my own defeat.

Chasin’ shadows, pullin’ at threads,

Lookin’ for the way out of this life I’ve led.

It’s a quiet dream I carry deep inside,

A restless need I can’t quite hide.

But every time I try to break free,

There’s a voice that says it’s too late for me.

But I’m learning to fly, no ground beneath,

Shakin’ off these chains, feelin’ the release.

It’s a long way up, but I’ve gotta try,

Gotta spread these wings and learn to fly.

There’s a fear in the climb, a pull of the earth,

A whisper that asks what this leap is worth.

I see the skyline, the clouds up high,

And I tell myself, “It’s do or die.”

Every fall I’ve taken, every scar I wear,

Is just a mark of the weight I bear.

But I’m reachin’ out for somethin’ new,

’Cause there’s a sky above, and it’s callin’ too.

Yeah, I’m learning to fly, don’t know where I’ll land,

But I’m lettin’ go and I’m makin’ a stand.

There’s a fear inside, but I push it aside,

Gotta spread these wings, take the longest ride.

There’s no map to follow, no guide to the sky,

Just a feeling that I can’t deny.

The ground’s fallin’ away, the past left behind,

And all that’s ahead is the open mind.

Now I’m learning to fly, feelin’ alive,

With the wind at my back, I’m startin’ to thrive.

It’s a journey unknown, but it feels so right,

To spread my wings, take flight tonight.

So here’s to the leap, the chance we take,

To break free from the fear and the endless ache.

With eyes on the sky and no fear of the fall,

I’m learnin’ to fly, and I’ll risk it all.
