Don't Trade Your Legs For A Pair Of Wings

Don't trade your legs for a pair of wings, on order and expect,

To fall in the air like a parachute, is all you might get

Don't get off your boat till your ship has arrived and standing quite perfect

Cause treading water and life preservers can also keep you wet.

You can have faith in all things to come

But where you stand is what you got

So until the big things have

Shown where they're from

You know those little things do mean a lot

Chorus:

So look in your heart,

Realize where your truth starts

And learn from your mistakes,

Cause there's no fool, like an old fool

Who can tell you once it's too late, it's too late

Did you think to rid of the litter you had,

It would bring you the bigger things

Approaching life as a game to gamble

With faith as a bet you'd win

You can't believe those that promise the world

It's no ones to give or take

They're not the souls that create "pennies from heaven"

Your palms await

That's no friend who strengthens by saying

Brother spread out thin, who fattens you

To feast on you and starves for a tasty sin

You're better off with a true enemy

Than a false friend, you can't pin

Whose satisfied by your biggest loss

Like the gain of the devil's grin

Chorus
