Flightless Birds

This was written as a song lyric but as that is mainly what I do these days, I thought I'd post it anyway... Flightless Birds by Dawn Sinclair 1. Every talent we are given is a feather in the wing Everyone we meet in life is blessed for what they bring We don't have to do it all alone when there are angels standing by But we’ve all been given our own wings And it’s up to us to fly chorus There's nothing more tragic than the plight of flightless birds and nothing’s more pointless than speaking silent words If we hide our light from everyone whether large or small then we’re not using our wings to fly so why have them at all? 2. There are people who are starving There are others getting fat There are those who are indifferent Tell me, what's the use of that? We don't have to walk the Earth alone If we just reach out our hand It's easy if you think of the world as one united land bridge where everyone has wings and everyone could fly if only they had courage to soar into the sky chorus There's nothing more tragic than the plight of flightless birds and nothing’s more pointless than speaking silent words If we hide our light from everyone whether large or small then we’re not using our wings to fly so why have them at all? outtro Flightless birds come spread your wings Flightless birds come spread your wings
