First Flight

from First Flight by Oakes & Smith

lyrics

Going out the only way to know
The way that shows you as you go
Falling freely from a branch above
The singing wind is cold and shrill
I let the wings unfold and fill
With love leading me on

They all warned me what would wait for me
If I left the safety nest
They said it would end in tragedy
But we won’t know until we fall
What it’s like to feel our fragile wings
Begin to beat
Face first, eyes wide
Legs in, head high
Wings up and fly

Getting glimpses of another life
Through the wind-wet in my eyes
I get the guidance of the gravity
I can’t escape the pull of fate
It fills the belly up with weight
As I take a faithful leap
