Little Wings Lyrics - Singles - Kris Delmhorst

Today I went flying in my favorite patch of sky 

I circled and I circled above the world so high 

And I thought to myself, what a lovely lovely thing 

To be up here with the clouds 

To be flying right out loud on little wings 

Then I met a 747 

Then he knocked me right out of the sky 

He landed down beside me 

He looked me in the eye and said 

I don't know why you even bother 

I don't know why you even try 

I don't know where you hope to get to 

I don't know how you hope to fly on those little wings 

Little wings 

Little wings 

Little wings 

Now I don't want to be a jet airliner 

I just want to be a little bird 

I don't want to rip the skies wide open 

I just want my song to be heard 

And I don't want to be state of the art 

I don't want to get there overnight 

I just want to be part of all this beauty 

Want to be part of all this flight on little wings 

I'll never be a flea in your circus 

I'll never be a prop up on your stage 

I'll never be one more little songbird 

You can try to keep inside your cage 

You're never gonna tell me where to fly 

You're never gonna tell me what to sing 

And if I end up lost and all alone 

At least I know I got there on my own two little wings 

I guess that you reap what you sow 

I guess it gets lonely at the top 

I guess it gets harder and harder 

To ever really know just when to stop
