lyrics

Cover your face with your feathery grace, ah-ha
Never erased from your parents’ disgrace, ah-ha
Your father, he sees at the age of three, his boy who had sprouted wings
He believes the angels deceive and a curse is what he brings

Shunned and they’ve hidden what cherubim given, ah-ha
Ivory feathers all shining of heaven, ah-ha
Your mother, she cried as you started to fly, afraid that you might have been seen
But up in the clouds where nothing is loud, away from the villagers’ screams

The boy with wings, his beauty sings but only he can hear
His gift of flight: a curse to fright but love is what they fear

Destroy and command what they don’t understand, ah-ha
Casting their stones from the treetops above, ah-ha
Your brother, he fell from atop of the elm, his slingshot still in hand
You flew through the air to cradle the scared little child whose love pretends

The boy with wings, his beauty sings but only he can hear
His gift of flight: a curse to fright but love is what they fear

So cover your face with your feathery grace, ah-ha
Shielding your eyes from their spitting despise, ah-ha
Wings rip in half as the stones scrape your back, ah-ha
Forgiving them all as you brace for your fall, ah-ha
