John Popper Fledgling lyrics

Raise your head meagerest of fledglings
And breathe in deep and cease to cry
For life it beats within you
To fix upon the sky and fix upon the sky
And fix, fix upon the sky

Is beckoning your coming
Your feathered nest has grown too small
The wind is here to greet you
Spread your wings and simply fall
Spread your wings and simply fall
Spread your wings, spread your wings and simply fall

Into the rushing air and then struggle
And fight to rise above
And then surrender to your freedoms
For these are the many pains of love
And these are the many pains of love
And many, many are the pains, the pains of love


That frightening fall has become a friend
With gravity now do you play
Inches from death and the frozen ground
And then away

The clouds separate to reveal the warmth
Of the goldenest bright shining sea
Nigh falls and it's gone again
But now you're free to give it chase

And to soar through heaven, mightiest of eagles
And rule your minions of the sky
The earth is far below you
Once it's prisoner, now do you fly?
Once a fledgling, now do you fly?
Now my fledgling, now my fledgling you fly free
