every time I tried to fly, I fell down time and time again
only to give it one more try, even as the world made fun of my shame
never saw the stars up close, never soared through the clouds
but always believed I would make it some day..some day..without a doubt..
each time I failed and fell to the ground below, my spirit took a greater fall
but slowly as I began to rise, I had a smile, though the height I rose was small
and then one day when I saw the stars, felt the clouds with my naked hand
I realised that I missed the ones I'd left..I missed the feel of sand
I knew I couldn't get back there for only higher could I fly
the thought that I wouldn't walk again made me want to cry
so I stopped flapping my wings, it broke my heart as I did
falling through the clouds I had the sight of land ...I had so missed
I knew the fall would hurt me but I battled fear with a smile
I comforted my self by saying..that the pain would only last a while
and then when I hit the ground, it broke my wings but my spirit remained intact
I knew I would never fly again but I got the courage I always lacked
