Spread your wings

lyrics

When home becomes an anchor
And your freedom is the sea
You've got to be a forward thinker
You've got to set your worries free

See I know your heart is beating
And I know you've got a dream
But if you're too busy sleeping
Then that's all it will ever be

We are the generation of mental elevation
With a conscientiousness so clean
It's always been inside us so open up your eyelids
Take my hand, now follow me

This bird's only cage is the sky
Don't let them clip the wings that allow you to fly

I promise you it's picture perfect
A sacred opportunity
The blowing wind will make you sure that
Your guided to your destiny

You gotta open up your heart now, play a bigger part now
Make yourself a sign of the changing times
The prophecy's predestined, everything's a blessing
So pry open your third eye

When you're weary, wistful, wanderlust
Drinking just to fill your cup
Focusing on negative spaces
You can't get caught up in the fear
You gotta learn to persevere
There's always a new challenge to face us
