Wings To Fly

snap a photograph of every memory that comes
post them in a album, compress them all to one
give them wings to fly in the azure sky above
you're just one moment away from falling deeply in love

is this where you want to be, beneath the mountain peaks?
resting in the valley, of hope and heart's belief
forsaking all the others, as you rest your weary head
your boots have found a home, underneath the bed

snap a photograph of every memory that remains
hanging on this wall, all neatly matted and framed
giving your heart wings to fly in the azure sky above
and nesting in this valley, where you planted the seeds of love
