Do I Rise?
[Verse]
Empty hands but a heavy heart
I’m torn in two
Where do I start
These wings I’ve got they’re feathered lies
I’m grounded here under endless skies
[Verse 2]
The weight of air feels like a chain
A paradox of joy and pain
I want to fly but fear the fall
Do I rise or do I crawl?
[Chorus]
Oh these wings
What do they mean?
Caught between a wish and a dream
They lift me high
They pull me down
Do I soar or do I drown
[Verse 3]
The sky calls out but whispers low
A secret only clouds would know
I take a step
The ground’s unsure
I’m caged by freedom
Wanting more
[Bridge]
The wind it sings
A haunting tune
A song of dusk and rising moon
If I leap will I be free
Or lose myself in eternity
[Chorus]
Oh these wings
What do they mean
Caught between a wish and a dream
They lift me high
They pull me down
Do I soar or do I drown

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
