Wings

You’ll need a pair of wings;

If you hope to make it to the moon. 

Take this flight without me.  

Don’t worry, I’ll meet you up there soon. 

 

Aim for the stars;

If you plan to leave this world behind. 

I will remain here on the ground;

Because my own wings, I cannot seem to find. 

 

Promise not to come back down to save me;

And I’ll keep my promise that I’ll meet you. 

Any people in my way;

I’ll climb their dead bodies until I reach you. 

 

You’re my reason to look up. 

We’ll see what this life will bring. 

I had to let you fly. 

What’s a bumblebee without her wings?
