Give Me Wings

Verse 1

Small

Dusty face

The hallway felt so narrow

He used a heavy leather strap

Brutal fists falling down on my back

I prayed for wings

I prayed to fly

Far away

Far from the heavy boots

Far from the bitter basement cold

Chorus

God give me wings

Give me wings

Give me wings

So I can fly

So I can fly away

Far away from here

Far away from him

Post-Chorus

Fly away

Fly away

Fly away

Far far far

Verse 2

Stolen

My spirit

Turned into grey ash

I sat in cells with iron bars

Wounds that grew into jagged soul scars

Carrying the weight

Carrying the shame

Destined for more

The devil took the crown

The devil tore the dream down

Chorus

God give me wings

Give me wings

Give me wings

So I can fly

So I can fly away

Far away from here

Far away from him

Bridge

I forgive the hand that hit me

I forgive the mouth that cursed me

I forgive the house that broke me

Endless nights of sorrow

Endless nights of grief

Somehow I let it go

Just to find some peace

Verse 3

Empty

Still here

Just existing is all

I hide my tears from everyone

The damage he started is never done

Never be whole

Never be right

Born in trouble

Born in the dark

Searching for a single spark

Chorus

God give me wings

Give me wings

Give me wings

So I can fly

So I can fly away

Far away from here

Far away from him

Outro

Destined for more

I was destined for more

I forgive them

I forgive them

Far away

Fly away

Gone

Gone
