Charley Wagner - Hope

Hope

I used to be free like a bird in a tree
Nothing ever seemed to really bother me
Id soar overhead, fly down low
Up and down my life would go

I landed in a place across the plains
My hopes and my dreams would come my way
But the color of this bird was not the same
I got caught up in that f----- game

I got caught heart and soul
I promised I’d stay until I was old
But I didn’t fly and I didn’t sing
Stuck on the ground with a broken wing

One day I was set free
Soaring in the sky was just a memory
I looked up, flapped my wings
Why was nothing happening

I ran for a while on the ground instead
I went into the mountains to clear my head
I climbed up a tree where I’d once been free
This is a place that I can be me

Well I looked down from where I once had been
When I was just a young, young kid
Well I am scared to trust these wings
It’s been so long since I was flying

I looked up to see a bird so free
Living in a world where I used to be
Flying in the wind from tree to tree
This is a place that I got to be

But it’s flying away, soaring so free
I gotta take a chance, it’s up to me
Well I could fall, I could just live
I could sit on this branch till I’m f---- dead

I jumped off, crashing through the trees
Opened up my wings, hoping and a pleading
Don’t let me fall, rolling on the ground
I can’t go down or I’ll be hell ward bound

At this point it’s a mystery to me
Hit the ground or take to wing
Open up my heart and let it in
I can’t go back to where I had been

I just know this life’s not for me
Spending my days up in this tree
The mountain so high, the valley so low
Life on wing is where I want to go..ooooo

Goooooooooo
Ooooooooo
Ooooooooo
Oooooooo
