To Fly

Feet grounded into the earth, desperate to fly
Anxiety heavy chained to the world
Wounded by hurt
Gaze upon the sky such empty nothings
Look behind a sweet home but deep sadness
Cries of a youth chased by giants
Positioned to take flight, eager to run
Flap my wings to fly
Lifting off into the air on cruise control
Appear to be free but careless
Flying into the deep nothings
Open to Psalm 55 awakened a switch within
Incredible peace fell upon on a broken heart
Destined to overcome any obstacle
Rescued and Delivered
To fly like a dove is to escape
But to fly through a cage is being set free
