Rare Talents

Reach down inside of you
Grasp the feelings you try to hide
Expand your lovely wings and learn to fly

The gift of life is precious 
Waste not the gift that was given
Expand your lovely wings and learn to fly

Rare talents lie hidden
Waiting in silence yet untapped
Unfurl those lovely wings and start to fly

Dreams are only dreams
Until you try to start living them
Unfurl those lovely wings and start to fly

Dreams unrealized fade
Tattered dregs of hope wisp away
Expand those lovely wings and learn to fly

Believe in yourself
Know that you are able to fly
Expand your lovely wings and begin to soar
