The Other Birds

My broken dream  are in the past, now I move with no backwards glance
I know where that leads,
I'm on a path on my way home, I understand, i once was young, 
But now I can leave the tree.

The other birds, that i have faced.  Have  shot me down,  to my disgrace. 
Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
The one thing they can't take away, are my word or what I say
Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all

I know that, I'm not alone.   For the love, my family's shown
I'll never break my wing
I'll fly high, and won't touch the ground, all the hate won't pin me down
Forever I will sing

The other birds, that I have faced. Have shot me down to my disgrace
Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
One thing they can't take away, are my word and what I say
Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all

If I shall start to frown, I will sit an listen to the sound
Of wind flowing through my ear
And I will know, that I've found my home 
Because I no longer fear

The other birds that I have faced.
They've shot me down to their disgrace
Never will I  have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
One of the things they can't take away, are the word and what I say
Never again will I fall , I'll fly higher than them......  All
