"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away" - unknown


(Verse 1)
Chained by the wings so I can’t fly free
Chained by the heart and I’m left to bleed
These cold steel bars cage me in
Never budging
Never relenting
And I wither in despair

(Chorus)
So why can’t I seem to fly?
Why I can’t I just let go?
I’m stuck under here
In deep deep fallen snow
I’ve been trying to break free
But these chains hold me
Why can’t I seem to fly?
Fly far from this prison trapped by me

(Verse 2)
In this prison trapped by me
I hold the key
But why can’t I put it to the heavy locks that bind me?
I’ve holed out my heart, my head, my soul
And I’ve lost all control

(Chorus)
So why can’t I seem to fly?
Why I can’t I just let go?
I’m stuck under here
In deep deep fallen snow
I’ve been trying to break free
But these chains hold me
Why can’t I seem to fly?
Fly far from this prison trapped by me

(Bridge)
And I look for the day when I can see the sky
I’d fly over the lost souls and the ones sinking down below
The wind breathing in my face
My toes stretching towards infinity
And all the heartache will let go

(Chorus)
So why can’t I seem to fly?
Why I can’t I just let go?
I’m stuck under here
In deep deep fallen snow
I’ve been trying to break free
But these chains hold me
Why can’t I seem to fly?
Fly far from this prison trapped by me

(Verse 3)
Far from this prison trapped by me
I’ll be who I want to be
Far from this place that binds me
I’ll be flying free
