imagine soaring through the summer sky 
dreams are for coursing and goals are made to strive 
but you remain inside 
the house where we reside 
but I gotta get a look out - through the clouds 
at funner things… 

I should be flying 
or at least trying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
don’t be denying 
my amplifying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 

you get to do your things whatever you contrive 
I’d never block your means so let me go with mine 
why won’t you let me fly 
my music is my kite 
I am settin’ up to play now 
but you’re trying to snip my strings 

I should be flying 
its painful trying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
don’t be denying 
my amplifying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 

I will still lift off the ground 
if you try to keep me down  
I won’t come back around 
I’m commited and spellbound…

I should be flying 
or at least trying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
don’t be denying 
my amplifying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
I should be flying 
or at least trying 
Don’t Clip - My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings 
Don’t Clip My Wings
