Wingspan

Stretch my arms out wide Feel the morning fill my lungs Sun across my shoulders Like a song that's just begun My body knows what I forgot That I'm already what I sought Wingspan open to the sky No reason not to try To take up all this space To feel the wind against my face Wingspan wide, wingspan free This is all I need to be Ready for the day ahead Nothing more that needs to be said Fingertips to fingertips Measuring the light Something simple in the stretch That makes the whole world bright Don't need coffee, don't need plans Just these open, empty hands Wingspan open to the sky No reason not to try To take up all this space To feel the wind against my face Wingspan wide, wingspan free This is all I need to be Ready for the day ahead Nothing more that needs to be said The morning doesn't ask for more Than standing at an open door Filling up on light and air Finding out that you were there All along, just sleeping in Now you're waking up again Wingspan open to the sky No reason not to try To take up all this space To feel the wind against my face Wingspan wide, wingspan free This is all I need to be Ready for the day ahead Nothing more that needs to be said
