I’ll make you the wings. I’ll teach you to fly.
Son, this promise I made on your birth night.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
Lessons I will teach for you to apply.
To give you the means to reach a great height.
I’ll make you the wings. I’ll teach you to fly.
Not so low to where treacherous fogs lie.
Beware the trap of self-indulgent delight.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
“Then upward I’ll go!” you quickly reply.
The lesson is learned. What’s wrong and what’s right.
I’ll make you the wings. I’ll teach you to fly.
Avoid the hubris of reaching too high.
The power of pride can make wings ignite.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
Go not so fast in a blink of an eye.
Life will be empty; experience slight.
I’ll make you the wings. I’ll teach you to fly.
But go not too slow that others pass by.
Keep a sharp focus; continue the fight.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
So soon it has come. The moment is nigh.
Your wings shall spread where I held them in tight.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
Scares me to death, you’re so eager to try.
How will I know that you’re ready for flight?
I’ll make you the wings. I’ll teach you to fly.
Only willpower can conquer the sky
