Gilded Wings
We set our sights on greater things
We spent our time only imagining
Dreaming about how great it would be
Sailing over the world on gilded wings
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
We started out with a basic design
But it's not good enough to just fly, we gotta sparkle and shine
White wash 'em over and again we would try
For such exquisite beauty as makes the angels cry
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
Finally, our wings were glorious to behold
Brilliant colors struck through with silver and gold
We wore them proud like the legends of old
Stood on the highest peak, full of hubris and bold
We flew, we flew, but for a moment before we fell
Reached out in pride, found heaven denied us
It's a long long way now, a long long way down to hell
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
Others achieve great heights
But never you and I
We spent our time only imagining
Dreaming about how great it would be
Sailing over the world on gilded wings
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
We started out with a basic design
But it's not good enough to just fly, we gotta sparkle and shine
White wash 'em over and again we would try
For such exquisite beauty as makes the angels cry
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
Finally, our wings were glorious to behold
Brilliant colors struck through with silver and gold
We wore them proud like the legends of old
Stood on the highest peak, full of hubris and bold
We flew, we flew, but for a moment before we fell
Reached out in pride, found heaven denied us
It's a long long way now, a long long way down to hell
Oh-oh we leapt out into the sky
Oh-on gilded wings too heavy to fly
Others achieve great heights
Why not you and I?
Others achieve great heights
But never you and I
