One of two songs written for FAWM 2019, it seemed to belong with the 2018 kids.

lyrics

Hey, I see you there waiting
Seeking permission
Clearance to break the rules
Oh you were always such a good child
They just let you run wild
They just didn't know what else to do

You let your wings grow way too long
You spent too much time in the sun
You put your finest feathers on
You paid the price dear
You ventured out the broken door
Slowly walked away from home
They moved away while you were gone
Are you alright, dear?

You dare to love you risk your heart
But it must break for you to start
For you to move, for you to grow
You can't stay right here

There
There's your permission
You've passed the clearance
Now you can break all the rules
So now go, go on now smash them
Into a thousand pieces
Shred them to confetti
'Cause life's a party
Life's a party
Life's a party
So learn to pace yourself
Go on smash them
Into a million pieces
Turn them into glitter
'Cause life's a cabaret

So let your wings grow way too long
Put your brightest colors on
Sing too loud on the sad songs
You'll be alright, dear
Hop the fence and make your fun
Spend all day out in the sun
No need to walk when you can run
You'll be alright, dear
