The Wings of a Prince

I look at you and all I see

Is a lonely prince forced to be king

Is a lonely boy searching for his place

Charging through those who would stand in his way

Open you heart and

Open your wings

Stretch them out unto the sky

And I watch you fly away

I watch you fight and all I see

Is a struggling soul searching for his peace

Is a struggling boy looking for a corner

Where he can safely hide from the things he feels

Open your eyes and

Open your wings

Spread them out into the clouds

Take off and I'll catch you if you fall

When you fall to Earth

Such a lovely thing

I won't let you hit

I will take your pain

I see you standing there and all I see

Is a beautiful boy hiding his soul

Is a beautiful boy with his hands tied up

And I want to reach you

Open you hands and

Open your wings

Take me with you as you fly

And I'll never let you hit the ground
