Lyrics

Once I had a little bird
Put him on the ground
I let go, he flew away
And he's never been found
Once I had a silver fish
Took him to the sea
I let go, he swam away
Without a thought of me
Once I had a lovely feeling
Way down in my heart
I let go, now I'm afraid
What I might have started, started, started, started
I've been holding on so long
Wondering where I'd go
Many things I understood
Little did I know
I've been standing on the ground
Watching others fly
Now I want to try my wings
Want to touch the sky
Once I had a secret fear
Hid inside of me
Let it loose and it became
A new reality
Once I had a silent tear
Couldn't wait, couldn't wait
Couldn't wait to be
Let it loose and it became
A river, then a sea
Once I had a fantasy
It struggled to get free
Let it loose, now I don't care
What's to become of me, me, me, me, me
I've been holding on so long
Wondering where I'd go
Many things I understood
Little did I know
I've been standing on the ground
Watching others fly
Now I want to try my wings
Want to touch the sky
Once I had a secret fear
Hid inside of me
Let it loose and it became
A new reality
Once I had a silent tear
Couldn't wait to be
Let it loose and it became
A river, then a sea
Once I had a fantasy
It struggled to get free
Let it loose, now I don't care
What's to become of me, me, me, me, me
I've been holding on so long
Wondering where I'd go
Many things I understood
Little did I know
I've been standing on the ground
Watching others fly
Now I want to try my wings
Want to touch the sky
