Once, my actions were juvenile, a naive boy with a cute smile. A wingless bird, I couldn't fly, but now, my wings soar in the sky. I'd forgotten we're made of dust and in whom I should place my trust. I was groundless, living a lie, but now, my wings soar in the sky. A would-be king seeking a crown, I let my pride drag me down. And feeling all alone, I'd cry, but now, my wings soar in the sky. For the first time, I beseeched God, "please forgive me, for I am flawed." I could have ended with a sigh, but now, my wings soar in the sky.
