about

This is pure music therapy. I wrote this song / children's story after a particularly rough patch.

lyrics

Plastic Wings
(music and lyrics by Daniel Mandel)
My plastic wings they set me free
out here where no one else can see
I close my eyes and lift above the clouds
above the city and the trees

Must have been lost recently
they left them for me to find
Clearly something that I need
to miss them you’d be blind

(with) Just enough hope to hang me
I flew too close, I clipped the sky
I bumped the sun, in front of everyone
My wings collide

I ran home to try them on
But I could not make them stay
I wanted to fly so badly
I had to find a way

My bruises almost healed now
but I cannot fix those wings
I wonder who left them there
A cruel joke, those cruel things

plastic pieces are all thrown away
there is one thing that I’ve found
those wings weren’t left behind for me
someone else has hit the ground, not to be found

I’m Free to laugh
Free to try
Free to Go
Free to fly

Free to Ask
Free to know
Free to Make mistakes as I go

Free to Live
Free to Try
Free to Dance
Free to fly

Free to Ask
Free to know
Free to Make mistakes as I go

Free to love
Free to See
Free to ask you if your FREE
