about

(Take The Sky is about a winged being who has their wings clipped off by a cruel enemy, and ends up chained to the ground. The song expresses their longing to grow new wings and return to the sky. They cry out for someone to cut away the bonds that hold them down.
Take The Sky is about falling and rising again. It is a song about having your wings “clipped off” and the pain & reward of growing them back - a fearful wonder.)

lyrics

Taken hostage from skies where I once flew
My heart is chained and my wings removed
Tethered to the earth, taking undesired root
The heavy, fettered birth from seed to bitter fruit

For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today

Sever the ties, the stitches that they used
To bind me down, to serve the ground
I’m ready now
For my wings to bloom

For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today

Fly away

Run, and fall, and rise again
For no fall is ever the end
Lift me up to where I belong
Let the weak say “I am strong”

For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today

No imprisonment to circumstance
Hope is endless
No destiny but liberty
Convalesce

Sever the ties, the stitches that they used
To bind me down, I’m ready now
To fly away
