Spread My Wings

All I wanted to do was ride my banana seat bike And spin around in my go-cart I was the tomboy of the town But didn’t feel I was a boy I was just a girl who did what she felt

Mother said never mind the other and do what you want That day I spread my wings I rode my bike as far away from this town And bought go-cart for grown ups No one knew how far I was gone I spread my wings in the vastest of plains

You’re a beautiful woman they would say How unusual you look One of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen I still dreamed of banana seat bike And I was always behind the wheel of my go-cart I spread my wings away from what they wanted With the wind beneath my wings I followed the trail of my dreams

It was time to go home when mother died Even though she said to stay on my trail of dreams Nobody expected to see me They saw what they remembered of me How surprised they were to know how wrong they were of me I spread my wings so far way from this town I had not recognized them either Together we rekindled the glory of the banana seat bike I found my old go-cart and whizzed around this old town of mind I spread my wings in the world that lead me to my dreams

It was time to leave again But this time I looked behind and kissed them goodbye Time for me to spread my wings while walking towards my dreams I’m the woman they never knew I’m the woman I discovered along the way
