Fledgling

I will never let you see light
I will never let you breathe life
I will always keep you inside
I will never let you fly too high

You are my only hope in this world
You are the one thing that I must keep safe

My hope to fly lies in you
If you fall from the sky I will fall too

When you leave
I will be the space between your feathers
And when I'm gone, I'll be the wind that lifts you to great heights

You are my fledgling
You are mine to protect
I'll never let anyone take you away
I can't keep you under my wing forever
I must let you fly
I will let you fly away
Far from here
As long as you
Always keep me near

I will always let you see light
I will always let you breathe life
I will always be by your side
I know it's time to release you to the sky
