Music & lyrics: john popper



Raise your head

Meagerest of fledglings

And breathe in deep

And cease to cry

For life it beats within you

To fix upon the sky

And fix upon...



The sky

Is beckoning your coming

Your feathered nest

Has grown too small

The wind

Is here to greet you

Spread your wings and simply fall

Spread your wings and simply fall

Spread your wings

Spread your wings and simply...



Fall

Into the rushing air

And struggle

And fight to rise above

And then surrender

To your freedoms

For these are the pains of love

And these are the many pains of love

And many, many are the pains of ...love



That frightening fall has become a friend

With gravity now do you play

Inches from death and the frozen ground

And then away

The clouds separate to reveal the warmth

Of the goldenest bright shining sea

Nigh falls and it's gone again

But now you're free

To give it chase

And to...



Soar through heaven

Mightiest of eagles

And rule your minions

Of the sky

The earth

Is far below you

Once it s prisoner now do you fly

Once just a fledgling now

Do you fly

Now my fledgling now my fledgling do you



Fly...free
