Given to Fly
Wings of Liberation: A Journey Beyond Chains
Lyrics
He could've tuned in, tuned in
He had the potential to engage or connect emotionally, but he chose to disconnect.
But he tuned out
He chose to ignore or disengage.
A bad time, nothing could save him
Experiencing a difficult period, and there seemed to be no solution to help him.
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
Isolated in a passageway, waiting and feeling excluded.
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He left that place, running a great distance.
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
Reached the ocean and relaxed, possibly reflecting on life.
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
The wind lifted him, and he knelt down, perhaps in awe or humility.
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
A powerful and overwhelming force hit him.
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
He received unexpected abilities or opportunities, proclaiming his transformation.
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Embracing his newfound strength, with the sea as his foundation.
Oh, power, oh
A general expression of strength or authority.
He's flying
He is soaring, rising above challenges.
Whole
Feeling complete and fulfilled.
High wide, oh
Elevated and expansive.
He floated back down cause he wanted to share
Returned to the ground willingly to share his knowledge or wisdom.
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
Willing to share the key to freedom from widespread constraints.
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
He faced adversity, being stripped and attacked.
By faceless men, well, fuckers
Assaulted by unidentified and cruel individuals.
He still stands
Despite the challenges, he still stands strong.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
Continues to give love freely, without expecting anything in return.
The love he receives is the love that is saved
The love he gives is the love that endures.
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
Occasionally, there is a noticeable anomaly in the sky.
A human being that was given to fly
A person, symbolizing resilience, who was given the ability to soar.
He's flying
Continues to soar, defying limitations.
Whole
Feeling complete and fulfilled.
High wide, oh
Elevated and expansive.
