The End of a Beginning 

Filled with exhaustion we fly free

Piling responsibilities on us like the water droplets

that weigh down our wings

The feeling of being released from the thing 

that drowns us the most 

The moment that we break free 

Touching the world around us with our wisdom

Flying away to welcome the next obstacle 

we thought we got away from 

Each time the thunderstorms traps us

But once we have the strength to leave it behind

To risk spreading our wings 

We still hope to be rewarded
