Shy away from grander things and shutter every world Graceful flight from perch to swing, a stone for every pearl If I could quell my aching These stolen breaths are taking And find myself again ♪ From this vantage, winding on Through valleys and the pass Rivers treading deeply through Their reach exceeds my grasp From out upon my perching I felt my self escaping Out into the world I've left alone Until the moment comes When I felt like I could stand on my own Mending straightened wings, threadbare and sewn To my heart these strings did pull Away from the weary throne ♪ Glowing embers keep this fire An everlasting lamp Feather-white, come morning light The grass left cold and damp And leaving all temptation Beneath my winged elation Out into the world I've left alone And now the morning comes When I felt like I could stand on my own Mending straightened wings, threadbare and sewn To my heart these strings did pull Away from the weary throne ♪ Take my hand, let's fly away 'Til morning comes to light
