Keep My Wings
Hiding in the bathroom
I really feel I have to
Pray my dad doesn't find me
This is taking so long
But it has to be done
It can't wait
I've been holding my breath
Get really frightened to death
As I hear someone knocking
To my biggest horror
I can hear my father call my name
Things can't end this way
My back is bleeding and I'm in such pain
Can't see through my tears
They're falling like rain
I must hide the knife, clean the blood, he can't see
I'm growing wings
Feathers are scattered all over the floor
It's what my dad sees as he walks through the door
He stares at me, he's not pleased, can't believe
I'm growing wings
Several years have gone by
And even though I did try
My dad still won't accept me
I'm strapped down in a lab chair
Don't really want to be here
So I beg and break away
I fight the doctors
Throw them to the floor
I won't be a part of this mutant cure
I'll take a risk, take a chance, take a stand
They can't cure me
My harness breaks and I jump from the chair
They all back away as my wings cut the air
I'll make him see that I'm free, he'll believe
He can't cure me
Dad says it's a better life
It's what everybody wants
Then I tell him "No, it's what you want"
I make my way to flee the scene
My dad screams
As I dash through the glass
I spread my wings and I soar through the sky
I'll stay a mutant 'til the day that I die
I took a risk, took a chance, made him see
He won't cure me
I know that I'll find my place in the sun
A haven for mutants where I can belong
I'll be happy, I'll be free, I'll be me
I'll keep my wings
Keep my wings
Keep my wings
