Clipped wings and higher walls

by Bradley Peter   Mar 28, 2008


I'm being punished for something
By someone, and I don't know why
But they're trying to let me know
That they don't want me to fly

But I don't want to spread my wings
Just want to stand on my own two feet
I'm not interested in money or fame
But just the chance to feel complete

Yet the walls get higher and higher
They get much tougher to break through
But I continue to do my very best
Just as we all must have to do

But those wings keep getting clipped
And those walls become so strong
So many times I've felt so defeated
Like the sky's not where I belong

I just want to get a little air time
Just to feel the breeze on my face
But that same someone won't let me
And just continues to give chase

But one day I'll learn to fly
And one day I'll climb that wall
And I can finally feel accomplished
Bu I just hope that I don't fall
