My back itches because I am growing wings
I know soon that I will fly
But I am scared to reach the sky
I may fall and tumble down
Down so hard upon the ground
And be a wretched creature
With no one around
Because I flew too far
It would break my heart to be alone
Alone and without a home
It would be a never healing scar
I hope the sky will love me
And gently guide me down
And put me amongst the people
Who will keep me safe and sound
But right now I am scared to fly
Without a flock and although I try
I can’t bear to do it all alone
To follow those who have already flown
Will I get lost in the clouds, a punishment for being proud?
I fear to fly and yet I must
I have to in God trust
That I will be safe and sound right there
Right up there in the air
