Praying For Wings

from Over My Head, Under My Skin by Whitestone

/

lyrics

The sun is setting in a way that only it knows how to do / And as I stare, I'm feeling like the lake that it's falling into / I'm waiting to be filled with more / The scene, serene, surrounds, so cinematic and so sweetly still / Just like a picture on the wall or flowers on the windowsill / That's always caught my eye before / Now I'm waiting to be filled with more // I've been praying for wings, but You want me to walk / I keep asking to sing, but You tell me to talk / And You know I could do a little better in the little things / So why do I keep praying for wings? // We reconvene and realign, we're reasoning it out this time / And after all is said and done, Your plans are still higher than mine / As I stand on the shore tonight / So I'll lay aside my pride and I'll resign my selfish hopes and dreams / And maybe if I walk the line, someday You'll let me have my wings / And turn my walking into flight / Oh, but either way will be all right // I've been praying for wings, but You want me to walk / I keep asking to sing, but You tell me to talk / And You know I could do a little better in the little things / So why do I keep praying for wings?
