I wish I could give you the wings to fly

They said you were different

To their rules you weren’t adherent

They did not hesitate to write you off

With innocence their arrogance you ripped off


This world is not where you belong

To their tunes you need not sing along

I wish I could give you the wings to fly

Of this world you need not comply


Your carefree laughter they could not bear

For their assurance, you did not care

You danced and jumped, so informal

They said how can this be normal?


This world is not where you can be yourself

To please them you need not mask thyself

I wish I could give you the wings to fly

Of this world you need not comply


I wish I could give you the winds to fly

To find a new world so full of joy

To accept you as you are they won’t shy

A world full of trust, that you can rely


I wish I could give you the wings to fly

To break this cage and find new sky

To fly with those who look beyond label

To unfurl yourself and define a new normal
