Paper Wings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I been folding up my fear Like a note I never sent Kept my feet stuck to the floor While my heart kept pulling west One small crack in the sky Let the whole room change Now the weight on my shoulders Feels a little less the same [Pre-Chorus] And I’m shaking off the ground Like dust from my shoes If I trust this feeling now What am I bound to do? [Chorus] I think I could rise I think I could rise If you pull me close I could reach that sky I think I could rise I think I could rise (oh, I could rise) I’m not made to hide [Verse 2] Saw my shadow on the wall Look smaller than before Took a breath and stepped forward Like I’d done it once before Every scar I carried here Started saying, move And the part of me that doubted Didn’t know what to do [Pre-Chorus] And I’m shaking off the ground Like dust from my shoes If I trust this feeling now What am I bound to do? [Chorus] I think I could rise I think I could rise If you pull me close I could reach that sky I think I could rise I think I could rise (oh, I could rise) I’m not made to hide [Bridge] Let the old fear fall away Let it burn out in the rain I was built for something wider Than this ache and this cage If I break, I break open If I run, I run free And the version of me waiting Finally looks like me [Chorus] I think I could rise I think I could rise If you pull me close I could reach that sky I think I could rise I think I could rise (oh, I could rise) I’m not made to hide
