The wind can lift the soaring wing
Into the sweeping sky
To dance upon the sun sweet plains
Where clouds and dreams should fly.
For birds can dance the laughing winds
With fragile wings unfurled;
They are the dreams, made flesh and wind,
Of us, the earthbound world.
We stand upon the rocky shores,
Our fists clenched with dismay.
We long to soar among the winds,
But know there is no way.
We raise a cry to Him who rules
The winds that sweep the sky;
Our arms clasped tight around our hearts
We bow our heads and cry.
We turn away from wind and shore,
Our dreams the weight of rock;
Why teach our hearts to dream of flight
When we’re of earthbound stock.
Though we are born of love and faith
We’re still afraid to fly,
But we must unclench all our fears,
Spread our wings and try!
We too can soar beyond the shore,
We earthbound flightless things,
But God can’t teach us how to fly
If we won’t spread our wings.
