lyrics

TRAINING TO FLY
I look overhead in the morning
To the families of Canada geese
In the grey autumn sky they are training to fly
Broken Vs, incomplete victories

And today while I make my way homeward
I think of the snowbirds that sing
Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m still in my shell
Or I’ve started stretching my wings

Then I feel the wind pushing forward
I feel the pull of the sky
The fear and the freedom of a free-falling bird
That’s been waiting and training to fly

I thought I would be like my mother
Her babies kept safe in their nest
With no thoughts in her mind to leave them behind
Every day she gave them her best

But a nest isn’t made for forever
And my babies, I want you to know
That it’s good to be grown and choose paths of your own
And be brave wherever you go

I feel the wind pushing forward
I feel the pull of the sky
The fear and the freedom of a free-falling bird
That’s been waiting and training to fly

I feel the wind pushing forward
I feel the pull of the sky
The fear and the freedom of a free-falling bird
That’s been waiting and training to fly
I've been waiting and training to fly
