Now My Wings Can Soar In the Sky
From dust of broken dreams I rise,
hear my heart how sadly it cries,
but the songbird in me won't die,
now my wings can soar in the sky.
I was captive in yearning cage,
your deception gave me courage,
won’t let freedom wind pass me by,
now my wings can soar in the sky.
I feel soft touch of fresh south wind,
wafting silver-lined clouds in mind,
to reach new heights of bliss I’ll try,
now my wings can soar in the sky.
After the rain storm drains my eyes,
I see the hues of rainbow rise,
luring me to leave nest and fly,
now my wings can soar in the sky.
