Weathered Wings still fly high.

lyrics

She closed her bedroom window, her curtains fell in place
She straightened back her thinning hair, courage lit her face
This summer storm is nothing, I’ve lived worse through the years
The storms of life she’d weathered, made my worries disappear

She said, weathered wings still fly high
Climb the wind, sail the skies
Weathered wings, don’t ask why
Weathered wings know they’ll never learn if they never try

He walked out to the backyard, looked out to the west
(He) said the years that he worked the land, were the years that he loved best
The South wind dried the windrows, bought hail that did them in
But, he wouldn’t change one day out there in the Manitoba wind

She said, weathered wings still fly high
Climb the wind, sail the skies
Weathered wings, don’t ask why
Weathered wings know they’ll never learn if they never try

When storms of life start blowing, bring a chilling cold
Rattles at my shallow breath, and hope that holds my soul
I look out for a reason, to catch the wind and fly
One day I’ll look back on this time and understand the why

She said, weathered wings still fly high
Climb the wind, sail the skies
Weathered wings, don’t ask why
Weathered wings know they’ll never learn
If they never try

She said, weathered wings still fly high
Climb the wind, sail the skies
Weathered wings, don’t ask why
Weathered wings know they’ll never learn if they never try
Weathered wings know they’ll never learn if they never try
