[Verse 1]
Shy away from grander things
And shudder every world
Graceful flight from perch to swing
A stone for every pearl

[Bridge]
If I could quell my aching
These stolen breaths are taking
And find myself again...

[Verse 2]
From this vantage winding on
Through valleys and the past
Rivers treading deeply through
Their reach exceeds my grasp

[Bridge]
From up upon my pearching
I felt myself escaping
Out into the world
I've left alone
Until the moment comes

[Chorus]
When I felt like I
Could stand on my own
Bending straightened wings
Thrеadbare and sewn
To my heart, thеse strings did pull
Away from any throne
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Glowing embers keep this fire
An everlasting lamp
Feather-white, come morning light
The grass left cold and damp

[Bridge]
And leaving all temptations
Beneath my winged elations
Out into the world
I've left alone
And now the morning comes

[Chorus]
When I felt like I
Could stand on my own
Bending straightened wings
Threadbare and sewn
To my heart, these strings did pull
Away from any throne

[Outro]
Take my hand, let's fly away
'Till morning comes to light
