THE ESSENTIAL LYRICAL BEAUTY OF WINGS
LITTLE WING - JIMI HENDRIX
Well, she's walking
Through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad
She comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything
Fly on, little wing
Listen here.
WING - PATTI SMITH
I was a wing in heaven blue
soared over the ocean
soared over Spain
and I was free
needed nobody
it was beautiful
it was beautiful

BROKEN WINGS - MR. MISTER
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
Listen here.

UNTIL THE END OF TIME (WITH SAMPLE OF BROKEN WINGS) - 2PAC
So take, these broken wings
I need your hands to come and heal me once again
(Until the end of time)
So I can fly away, until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Listen here.

WINGS- BIRDY
Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives
Listen here.

PAIR OF WINGS - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
If I had a pair of wings
I’d pick you and fly you far away from here
And you’d put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear
And if I had a pair of wings
I’d pick you and fly you far away from here
And we’d fly so high up in the sky
Where the stars are so clear
And then I could save you
From the troubles of the world
And all you’d have to pack is your heart to bring
And there we are, you and me
Flying on a big ol’ pair of wings, mmm
Listen here.

BLACKBIRD - THE BEATLES
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Listen here.

LOVING WINGS - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
I give to you my everything
You’ve given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud
Listen here.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS - QUEEN
Spread your wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because you're a free man.
Listen here.

Lil' mama gon' spread your wings
Lil' mama gon' spread your wings
Lil' mama gon' spread your wings
