Skylark

Skylark spread your wings Pull yourself up from the ground Trust in the currents One foot can lift you Out to meet the starry night Release yourself soon Energy is faint Yet the heart beats with power We can not lift you Find the quickening Chance to take your maiden flight You will remember Flying is in you You have been at rest so long Take this one last flight We will all watch you Cheering through our tears and fears Imprinting the sight Sooner than we think We will have to take our flights Risking the journey Waving our hands high Reaching for the clouds above Hoping for entry Greeters are waiting With open arms and smiling Relief on their end The world is troubled Peace must live somewhere we hope You are needed there We all must let go If we hold you too closely You'll not make your flight Skylark sing your song The melody resonates Through the summer air
