Sometimes I feel like I'm a bird with broken wings
At times I dread my now and envy where I've been
Cos that's when quiet wisdom takes control
At least I've got a story no-one's told

I finally learned to say
Whatever will be will be
I've learned to take
The good, the bad and breathe
Cos although we like to know what life's got planned
No-one knows if shooting stars will land

These days it feels naïve to put your faith in hope
To imitate a child falling backwards on the snow
Cos that's when fears will usually lead you blind
and now I try to under-analyse

I finally learned to say
Whatever will be will be
I've learned to take
The good, the bad and breathe
Cos although we like to know what life's got planned
No-one knows if shooting stars will land

Is the road I walk wearing thin?
Is the life I love caving in?
Is the weight of your mind
A heavy black bird caged inside?

Say whatever will be
Take the good, the bad, just breathe?

Cos although we like to know
what life's got planned
No-one knows if shooting stars will land

I finally learned to say
Whatever will be will be
I've learned to take
The good, the bad and breathe
Cos although we like to know what life's got planned
Things like that were never in your hands
No-one knows if shooting stars will land
