Your Freedom & Your Song

I am only flesh and bone, struggling with my life alone
Jealously watching the skyways you've flown
Dreaming of flight on my own

Hidden out of sight
I watched you swoop and then alight
Windswept and breathless, an angel in flight
Shining, then gone in the night

And how I've longed for your freedom and your song
Your wings so full-spread and your heartbeat so strong
And so when I have dreamed that I could fly
I've flown there beside you, alone through the night

Is there something you can do if I give myself to you
To show me the heights
That you reached when you flew
Over the world I once knew

And God, I've longed for your freedom and your song
Your wings so full-spread and your heartbeat so strong
And so, if I should someday learn to fly
I'll soar there beside you, alone through the night

And when I let you go tonight
I'll touch you once before your flight
And watch as you fly t'wards the cold morning light
Flex my new wings as you sail out of sight
And follow your path through the sky
