i've made mistakes
but i won't be ashamed
it feels like fate is liftin me
i can't seem to keep my feet on the ground

i no longer hide
so i let the sun wash over me
cause there's no darkness left
to hold me down
and i feel it's light
now i found the spark
that was missin in my life

i earned these wings
i was not born with them
& it's no accident
how i walked through
the rain and the fire

cause it taught me how to love
it taught me how to fight
& finally im learning to fly

when you lose your way
when your heart breaks
when you can't escape
you feel just like a prisoner
of all the world says you will never be
that's when you can't give up

gotta hold on tighter now that ever
the answers will find you when you believe
and i feel it's light
now i found the spark
that was missin in my life

i earned these wings
i was not born with them
& it's no accident
how i walked through
the rain and the fire

cause it taught me how to love
it taught me how to fight
& finally im learning to fly

and i tried yea i tried to get somewhere that i'd rather be
but sometimes the fastest way is not so easy

i earned these wings
i was not born with them
& it's no accident
how i walked through
the rain and the fire

cause it taught me how to love
it taught me how to fight
& finally im learning to fly
