Music: Robert Baitinger / John Evans Lyrics: Carroll Kiphen
Looking for a vocalist
NEVER HOLD WHAT’S BORN TO FLY
Verse 1:
Didn’t notice how she changed
How she grew in subtle ways
If I had I'd been amazed
Verse 2:
My timid butterfly
Grew wings and learned to fly
While I sat idly by
Pre-chorus
She metamorposed and she grew her wings
Learned to appreciate the finer things
Chorus
Say why
Why was I so blind
No matter how I try
I’ll never hold what’s born to fly
Seems I
I’ve lost track of time
Now I have to realize
I’ll never hold what’s born to fly
Verse 3:
Things will never be the same
Every time I say her name
I know that I'm the one to blame
Verse 4:
Seen her on the evening news
Around the town a time or two
All she says is how are you
Chorus
Bridge
I know I held her way too tight
She had no space to breathe
Now I wish she’d still be here with me
