lyrics

take these wings

sister, no wonder
you won't raise your head
to the sky
you're afraid of thunder
it makes you cry
and you don't know why

there's a place that i know
you can see
the face of the earth
that's where i wanna go
on the wind of my birth
the wind of my birth

i'm not afraid of dyin
it's just a setting sun
on the rise
come take these wings and try
it's a world full of butterflies

well i'd like to take you
where the light
of the day began
where the sun
always breaks through
shinin down like a friend

i felt you shaking
awake from your dream
like a child
take your heart
from its' breaking
and lean on a smile

i'm not afraid of dyin
it's just a setting sun
on the rise
come take these wings and try
it's a world full of butterflies

sister, no wonder
you won't raise your head
to the sky
you're afraid of thunder
but it's the fourth of july

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
