When did you learn you had power

when did you realize your wings

When did you bloom into flower

when did you find you could sing

*

When did the magic consume you

when did you walk from the fight

When did you learn what you could do

when did your heart soar in flight

*

When did life show you, it's beauty

when did you see it's design

When did you sign up for duty

when did you hit pause and rewind

*

When did you see your potential

When did you play your own drum

When did you show you're essential

When did you shed other's thumbs

*

We all get there, sooner or later

We all finally decide - it's enough

Life slips right on by, like a vapor

to get tangled in such messy stuff

*

One thing change gives is the freedom

To open our wings and take flight

So, take the free pass when you need-em'

shining like a star in the night
