Wendy Wall - A Wing and a Prayer lyrics

A Wing and a Prayer I am still earthbound, I am not still I still move through this atmosphere in this biosphere across this ground I still walk on my limbs I am not washed of my sins I have not made my peace I have not been released or unbound One day I'll break out of these chains And I'll untie all of these strings That hold me to the ground that keep me down in here, that hold me in When the end rattles my bones And the last breath sighs in the wind Look away up out and over I'll be a flying thing I was born this time Into a wild restless mind And into restless feet That have not found relief on this ground but they have walked under this sky And they'll walk here until I die Endlessly circling what those born into wings have found One day I'll break out of these dreams and I'll untie all of these strings No more in between, free to turn and lean into the wind And when the end rattles my bones The last breath'll die whispering, Look away up out and over You'll see a flying thing [ bridge ] And when the air rattles my bones, And the black birds circling Look away up out and over I'll be a flying thing Look away up out and over I'll be a flying thing all lyrics copyright 2011 Wendy Wall all rights reserved
