No Wings
Rising Above: Embracing Strength in the Night - Nyah Lavina's 'No Wings'
Lyrics
Little girl you know you've got no wings to fly
The individual being addressed lacks the ability to soar freely like birds.
You've got the weight of the world latched to you
They carry the burdens and problems of the world, making it difficult for them to elevate.
Unable to touch the sky
They feel incapable of reaching their aspirations or potential.
Nobody looks out for you
There's a lack of support or care from others.
You've got to fight
They must struggle and persevere.
They may not see how you shine in the daylight
Others fail to recognize their brilliance during the day.
But they will in the night
However, their worth becomes visible during the night.
They can't see you in the day time
Others are unable to perceive their value in daytime.
They gotta wait for the night
Recognition of their worth only occurs at night.
Cause soon as the sun and the moon switch places
When circumstances change dramatically, their true self can emerge.
You'll no longer have to hide
They won't need to conceal themselves anymore.
They tell you that you have no right to fight for your life
They're discouraged from fighting for their existence.
They say this world is a little too dangerous
They're warned that the world is too perilous for someone like them to navigate.
For a girl like you to try
They feel abandoned continuously.
Forsaken evermore
A sense of being forsaken and deserted.
Always left behind
They're often disregarded and left behind.
If you believe in them you know it just won't feel right
Trusting others who hold such beliefs will feel wrong.
Little girl you know you've got no wings to fly
Reiteration of their inability to soar freely.
You've got the weight of the world latched to you
They're burdened and unable to achieve their aspirations.
Unable to touch the sky
Reiteration of their incapability to reach their potential.
Nobody looks out for you
They lack support or care from others (repeated).
You've got to fight
They must persistently struggle.
They may not see how you shine in the daylight
Others fail to acknowledge their brilliance during daytime (repeated).
But they will in the night
Their true worth becomes evident at night (repeated).
Don't need no love, no soul ties
Emphasis on self-reliance and inner strength rather than external connections.
The love's in your pride
Love and strength are found within their pride.
Cause they'll say they love you
Others might claim affection but might exploit their intellect.
Then turn around to take advantage of your mind
People might manipulate after expressing love.
Times will get hard but it's never no reason to cry
Challenges will arise, but crying is discouraged.
Just keep your faith alive when things ain't right
They should maintain faith during tough times.
It is just a matter of time that you'll find
Belief that difficulties are temporary and a solution will come.
You can't take it anymore
Reaching a breaking point where they can't endure anymore.
So don't look behind
Encouragement to move forward and not dwell on the past.
If you believe in yourself you know
Belief in oneself will lead to eventual positivity.
You know it will be alright
Reassurance that things will improve with self-belief.
Little girl you know you've got no wings to fly
Reiteration of the lack of freedom to soar.
You've got the weight of the world latched to you
Continued burden and inability to achieve aspirations (repeated).
Unable to touch the sky
Reiteration of the incapability to reach potential (repeated).
Nobody looks out for you
Lack of care or support from others (repeated).
You've got to fight
Emphasis on the continuous struggle.
They may not see how you are in the daylight
Others fail to perceive their true nature during the day.
But they will in the night
Their genuine worth becomes evident at night (repeated).
