Lyrics
I held myself upon the ground
I struggled to remain grounded and stable.
Though I wished to be a shape among the clouds
Despite my desire, I wanted to blend in with the freedom and expansiveness of the clouds.
And I knew I could escape the land somehow
I believed I could find a way to escape this mundane existence.
But I stayed down
However, I chose to stay rooted and not take the leap.
And the wind would tempt me to the sky
The wind enticed me to soar, but my fear of heights persisted.
But nothing could cure my fear of heights
Nothing could alleviate my fear of being high above the ground.
And when I see a plane I start to cry
Seeing an airplane triggers an emotional response, making me cry due to my inability to fly.
Cause I can't fly
Expressing the emotional struggle of not being able to experience flight.
And I can feel it, on my skin
Sensations are palpable on my skin, indicating an awareness of something transformative.
Can hear it, on the wind
Audible cues in the wind hint at a change or opportunity.
Why do I fear it
Pondering the reasons behind the fear and resistance.
Let it in
An encouragement to embrace and accept the transformative experience.
Oh let it in
Reiteration of the invitation to allow change and growth.
My heart feels heavy in my chest
Describing a weighty and burdened feeling within the chest.
It keeps me anchored to this lonesome nest
Feeling anchored and tied to a solitary and isolated place.
And I've stood for days up on this ledge
Having spent considerable time on the edge but hesitating to take the final leap.
But I can't take that last step
Expressing the difficulty in overcoming the last obstacle or fear.
And I can feel it, on my skin
Sensations on the skin and the sound in the wind indicating a recurring theme.
Can hear it, on the wind
Reiteration of the audible and sensory experiences related to change or growth.
Why do I fear it
Persistent questioning of the reasons behind the fear and resistance.
Let it in
Reemphasizing the need to accept and welcome the transformative experience.
And I can feel it, on my skin
Continuation of the sensory awareness regarding change or transformation.
Can hear it, on the wind
Reiteration of audible cues and sensory experiences related to growth.
Why do I fear it
Continued reflection on the reasons behind the fear and resistance.
And I can feel it, on my skin
Reiteration of the palpable sensations on the skin and the audible signals in the wind.
Can hear it, on the wind
Repeating the acknowledgment of sensory experiences related to change.
Why do I fear it
Persistent questioning of the reasons behind the fear and resistance.
Let it in
Final urging to embrace and welcome the transformative experience.
Oh Let it in
Reiteration of the final invitation to allow change and growth.
