Build Yourself Wings

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Build yourself wings, From Ice and dirt, From metal and wire. Build yourself something to lift yourself up. Build yourself wings, From the Earth around you, From your own mind. Build yourself wings, From the faith in me you still have, From cloth and thread. Build yourself concrete wings. Scavenge around in a workshop, Find some odds and ends, And Build yourself a set of wings. Set your expectations low and you'll never be let down. Just go with what you have, And build yourself wings from wood and nails. Work like you've never worked before, And build yourself wings from metal and wire.
