Fly away

It’s hard to tell you why
You’ll have to wait and see
Your wings will grow
And then you’ll know
The joy of being free
To float upon the air
And drift along the breeze.
You’ll greet a friend
Then rise again
So high above the trees.

And I can show you how
But you’ll have to make your own way.
Patience now,
Tomorrow you can fly away
Heartbreakers all,
When you arrive at the ball
Oh how you’ll sway
You’re going to steal hearts away.

I know it’s no so bad
For I was once like you
Enjoy yourself
There’s nothing else
That you can say or do,
And most of all be calm
Be beautiful and shy
Your time will come
And like the sun
You’ll reach up
To the sky.
