Not About Wings

So, I was playing around on MySpace tonight after talking to a class of 6th grade students about social networking.... I knew my sister had a page, so I went looking for her, saw she was online, and wanted to send her a message, but you need to be a member to do so. So, I thought this would be my impetus to try setting up a page and get a little "primary source" knowledge. By the time I figured it all out, my sister was no longer online. So I called her. (Guess I could have started there, but where's the fun in that?!) I had to call her, because I couldn't log off MySpace with my profile reading "single" when I am excruciatingly happily married! Thankfully, it was almost as difficult for her to find the "switch," so my librarian "hunter" ego wasn't too damaged.


So, all this to say, Stacy had a song that started playing when her page opened, and it is beautiful! You must give a listen to Not About Wings by downhere. (no longer available - check out their main webpage here)



Here are the words:

Not About Wings
by downhere

Wake dove,
stretch your feathers,
Worry not love,
how far you could fall.
Fly now, darling find how;
A broken wing can feel the best to soar on.
It's not the perch you've climbed to reach,
But the broken wing that's made you meek;
that's when He lifts you high.

Chorus
Believing is not about seeing,
Faith is not about reaching,
and on this journey I keep learning,
Flying is not about wings.

Sparrow trapped by a window,
every resource spent for just one goal.

It's not by work you find your escape,
but in your defeat when you seek his face;
that's when He lifts you high.


How nice is that? Love it!
