lyrics

Wings

Josie was a whore who lived
Behind the mercantile
In a 4 by 7 room with cardboard walls
Her hair was dark and silky
Her smile could shame the moon
The color of her eyes I can’t recall

PRE CHORUS
Her momma was a Cherokee
Who brought her into town
When she was not much more than just a girl
She sold her for a bottle
And a single piece of gold
Then left her to the mercies of the world

CHORUS
Even a prisoner can dare to dream
Of something greater…something more
Even a sparrow in a wicker cage
Can open up its wings and long to soar
‘Cos that’s what wings…
That’s what wings are for

Men used to give her money
For an hour in the dark
But Josie was the one who paid the cost
I know she must have thought about
A life beyond those walls
And cried for the innocence she’d lost

One day I heard that Josie
Had up and walked away
Into the night with no good-bye
I couldn’t help believing
That she had found a way
To catch the wind and finally learn to fly

Even a prisoner can dare to dream
Of something greater…something more
Even a sparrow in a wicker cage
Can open up its wings and long to soar
‘Cos that’s what wings…
That’s what wings are for
That’s what wings are for
