Christopher Wilkinson - Words Can Clip Wings (feat. Laura May Geddes, Rob van der Parker & Beth White)

We live in a world where choice is owned
Where sticks and stones break bones
And where words can clip wings

Reality is a case of image
To face the public's scrutiny
The advertising is off the scale
And we decide to follow

Infinite possibilities
Infinite versions of you and me
We cater for society
And censor for approval

How do you feel living somebody else's dream?
Showing them what they want to see
The rest of you
Fading far from view

Every choice that we make
Should be a statement of intent
To preserve self-identity
We embrace conformity

Afraid to leave to break the mold
Comfortable being told
How to define happiness
And how to measure your own success

Without cages we could fly so high
Fly into the sky
We build for shackles for ourselves

These chains and cages built to keep us on the ground
Rise above, lift each other up. Let a new path be found

How would you feel living out your every dream?
Fulfilling all your fantasies
To yourself be true

We could have a world in which we choose
To use our influence for good
Words can clip wings
