lyrics

Should I write you a letter
Would you read it at all
Would it help you to stand up
or cause you to fall
‘Cause you’re building a fortress
And the walls are so high
Does a bird in a cage still know how to fly

When I write you that letter
I would write about love
I would try to remind you
of what you still have
You have beauty and freedom
And your eyes how they shine
You should take what you want now you’ve still got time

Raise your eyes up
shake your wings and try
You will feel the wind, and fly

If you don’t get my letter
Maybe it’s better that way
We’ll carry our stories
til the end of our days
‘Cause I won’t be beside you
You have mountains to climb
But I’ll see you again
if our paths cross in time

Raise your eyes up
shake those wings and try
You will feel the wind, and fly
Should I write you a letter

Would you read it at all
Would it help you to stand up
or cause you to fall
