It's hard to think that not so long ago I was a child

It seems such a thing of the past

Somewhere along the line I gave up wishing I could fly

For I'd found someone who soared

Go, run away you coward

What sort of beast runs from a man - you

Your time is near, and how you survive is now in your hands

I watched in awe as it clawed at her wings in half the time it took to cry for help

Protector, protect her

Heavenly white feathers fatally damaged and spattered in deep red

We will surely reach the heavens for we've already been to hell

And here we stand

We will wait for our chance

One day we will take to the skies again

But until then, we will mend our wings and learn to fly again

The choice is yours but this is mine

This is the way I will survive

Day to day, day by day

This is the way I will get by

Day to day, day by day

This is the way we will survive

Day to day, day by day
