Wings of Daylight

I was made for freedom

I can feel it in my bones

Fence line rusting by the highway Old boots hanging by the door

I kept asking every morning

What am I waiting for

Mama said the road will test you

Daddy said to watch the rain

I packed a coat and all my reasons Left them at the

gate

If the lock gives way tonight

If the wheels keep turning true

I will meet the open morning

With nothing left to prove

I was made for freedom Not the cage,

not the key

Made for the wild road And the air that carries me

I was made for freedom Let the old walls fall behind

If my heart is still beating I am running toward the sky

Crossed the river past the millhouse Watched the water take my name

Every mile became a witness

Every scar became a flame

I was never built for folding

Never meant to live half-small There is thunder in my breathing There

is weather in my call

I was made for freedom Not the cage,

not the key

Made for the wild road And the air that carries me

I was made for freedom Let the old walls fall behind

If my heart is still beating I am running toward the sky

I do not need permission

I do not need a sign

The door was never holy

It was only wood and wire

Oh, I

am alive

I was made for freedom Not the cage,

not the key

Made for the wild road And the air that carries me

I was made for freedom Let the old walls fall behind

If my heart is still beating

I am running toward the sky

I was made for freedom

And

freedom made a home in me
