Forgotten How to Fly

Oh mother

Oh mother

Can you hear me

When I cry at night?

Oh mother

Oh mother

If you can see me

Please show me the light

Cause I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

Standing on the edge of the sky

Looking for the strength to try

Something is broken and my wings won't open

I don't know why

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

When did I put my happiness in the hands of others?

My peace of mind separate from the sky

When did I forget we could all be lovers?

He, she, xe, we, and I and

How could a bird so free

Return to her cage without protest?

I know the little birdie she is me

Maybe I just needed some rest and

I don't know, I don't know why

The caged bird still sings and

I don't know, I don't know how

When she remembers everything

Oh, quiet, quiet, please be quiet

I can't hear my thoughts

Quiet, quiet, please be quiet

There goes another one lost and

Cause I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

I've forgotten how to fly

Standing on the edge of the sky

Looking for the strength to try

Something is broken and my wings won't open

I don't know why

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

Forgotten how to fly

Fly

Can you hear me in a sea of voices?

Can I hear me in my own head, I

Hear the ghosts, the shadows of my choices drowning in my words unsaid

I promise, I promise, from this day forward

I will be a better me, I

Feel it, I feel it taking over

Remembering how to be free
