Not About Wings

Capo 3 (Key of Bb)
G D/F#
Wake dove, stretch your feathers,
G D/F#
Worry not love, how far you could fall.
G D/F#
Fly now, darling find how;
G D/F#
A broken wing can be the best to soar on.
D/F# G
It's not the perch you've climbed to reach,
D/F# G C
But the broken wing that's made you meek;
D
that's when He lifts you high.
[Refrão]G C
Believing is not about seeing,
G C
Faith is not about reaching,
G D/F# Em C
and on this journey I keep learning,
(C) D G
Flying is not about wings.
G D/F#
Sparrow trapped by a window,
G D/F#
every resource spent for just one goal.
D/F# G
It's not by work you find your escape,
D/F# G C
but in your defeat when you seek his face;
D
that's when He lifts you high.
(Chorus)
