about

This song was written inspired by Scootaloo's plight, and was completed and had tons of love put into it for the purpose of inspiring others that just because it may seem hard now, it doesn't mean you'll never get there. Anything really worth having isn't going to be easy to obtain. You just have to stick to it, and know that if you really want it you will someday have it. :D Talent only gets you so far. It's the passion and hard work that really gets you there.

Dedicated to a good friend of mine. You know who you are. :D

lyrics

I see markings in the sand,
So I follow them for a while.
Then they stop so abruptly;
I look up as feathers fall.

They fly above the clouds,
Laughing, dancing like butterflies.
Why can't I be there, too,
Soaring high across the skies?

Cause these wings keep me grounded,
Tethered here on solid earth below.
But I know it'll all be worth it.
It's not as if I'll never ever know.
I'll be up there with them soon,
My silhouette scarring the moon.
The air will keep my form surrounded,
But till then these wings keep me grounded.

I see myself ten years down,
blazing, raising a crowd.
It might just be a dream now,
But I'll get there, somehow.

Some days they'll wanna help me out
Some days they just sit and spin.
I'll stump them all someday
And get outta this rut I'm in.

Cause these Wings keep me grounded
Tethered here on solid earth below.
But I know it'll all be worth it,
It's not as if I'll never ever know
I'll be up there with them soon.
My silhouette scarring the moon.
The air will keep my form surrounded,
But till then these wings take me

Higher and higher I go.
My face is all aglow.
I flap my wings,
The rise they bring
makes my body ache.

Take it slow.
Feeling the air flow.
The wax melts,
my body pelts
the ground, and so I wake.

[Bebop Solos]

Cause these wings keep me grounded,
Tethered here on solid earth below.
But I know it'll all be worth it,
It's not as if I'll never ever know.
I'll be up there with them soon,
My silhouette scarring the moon.
The air will keep my form surrounded,
But till then these wings keep me...
