She spreads her wings and flies
Her secret no longer an anchor
She laughs out loud because she can fly
But soon she's crying because she's alone.
She can't go back down,
Same as she can't turn back time
If she landed, she would crash
She sees others higher than she
More free than herself
And longs to join them
Carefree and gay
Proud
But she is new at this
She cannot fly as high as they
Her tears land
Where lie the ones she left behind
And they cannot reach her
Cannot save her
She laughs because she can fly
And cries because she is alone
