There is a being
Inside every man
there is a hidden soul
There is a spirit he cannot control
Trapped by the constraints of time
This kindling fire seems left behind
A young and restless heart
A child that wishes to run free
An eagle ready to fly
A hope to one day be alive
Alive again and beautiful
A lonely hand reaching out
A singing flower leaning to the sun
A brand new view, never before seen
A race against time not yet begun
It lives only within him
It breathes on the love he breathes
It walks only the road he walks
It sees only the magic he sees
Until one day, suddenly
A chance to soar to new heights
To light new flames
Out of the depths of your love
A child is born
Out of the strength of your dreams
A new promise sworn
She will be the correction to your mistake
The jump in your heart
The fulfillment of your aspirations
The light in your dark
She is in you
You created her
And for you she will fly
Your baby bird
