Taking Flight

Fairy wings
Fairy dust
Let me fly
Home at last

What else can she do
She has always ran
From people and from things
She’s never made a stand

Her legs are weary
But she will not stop
Say what you will of her
She’ll run until she drops

It’s fear that drives her
Though she can’t say why
It’s life she’s running from
Because it makes her cry

She is on the run
So as not to face
The problems in her life
She’s had through all her days

But should the truth be told
Then the truth is this
She’s running from herself
And everything she is

There will come a day
She must stop running
Then will she make a wish
To fly away with wings

There will come a day
She must stop at last
Then will she wish for wings
To send her home at last
