Forgotten How To Fly

Oh mother
Oh mother
Can you hear me
When I cry at night?
Oh mother
Oh mother
If you can see me
Please show me the light

Cause I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
Standing on the edge of the sky
Looking for the strength to try
Something is broken and my wings won't open
I don't know why
Forgotten how to fly
Fly
Forgotten how to fly
Fly

When did I put my happiness in the hands of others?
My peace of mind separate from the sky
When did I forget we could all be lovers?
He, she, xe, we, and I and
How could a bird so free
Return to her cage without protest?
I know the little birdie she is me
Maybe I just needed some rest and
I don't know, I don't know why
The caged bird still sings and
I don't know, I don't know how
When she remembers everything
Oh, quiet, quiet, please be quiet
I can't hear my thoughts
Quiet, quiet, please be quiet
There goes another one lost and

Cause I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
I've forgotten how to fly
Standing on the edge of the sky
Looking for the strength to try
Something is broken and my wings won't open
I don't know why
Forgotten how to fly
Fly
Forgotten how to fly
Fly
Forgotten how to fly
Fly
Forgotten how to fly
Fly

Can you hear me in a sea of voices?
Can I hear me in my own head, I
Hear the ghosts, the shadows of my choices drowning in my words unsaid
I promise, I promise, from this day forward
I will be a better me, I
Feel it, I feel it taking over
Remembering how to be free
