Leaping Heart

Whispering winds, a restless sky

Standing on the edge, asking why

On the cliff with a storm in my chest

Holding on tight, afraid to regress

She lent me the wind, with wings untamed

But I saw my fall, not how I was named

Falling isn’t failing if it's how you learn

Every tumble's a corner turned

Her wings weren’t mine, but I tried to soar

Learning to fly, I needed more

Give me the wind, I’ll ride the night

Chasing shadows in fading light

Promises made in the whispering scream

Daring to chase a broken dream

Through heather and stone where the cold gulls cried

I followed a voice I had long denied

The sea below warned in a silver tongue

Yet something in me said I’d just begun

Give me the wind, I’ll ride the night

Chasing shadows in fading light

Promises made in the whispering scream

Daring to chase a broken dream

I borrowed courage from the breaking dawn

Wore its fire awhile till the dark was gone

Each wound I carried grew light as flame

And ash became part of my truer name

Falling isn’t failing if it's how you learn

Every tumble's a corner turned

The wind grew nearer the more I soared

What once was fear became my sword

Give me the wind, I’ll ride the night

Past old ghosts in thinning light

Promises burn where the lost ones dream

Healing the shape of a broken dream

She watched from the ridge where the wild hawks wheel

And spoke of a flight only scars can feel

Not every wing rises by flawless art

Some learn their heaven by leaping heart

The cliff was a promise I couldn’t explain

A dare from desire, a whisper from pain

Wrapped in freedom, dressed in fears

Flying with hopes through trembling tears

Give me the wind, I’ll ride the night

Past old phantoms and failing light

Promises burn where the lost ones dream

Whole now beyond the broken dream

So here I stand, with storm in my chest

Facing the sky, put to the test

She gave me the wind, and I learned to see

Falling’s the start of flying free
