Vincent Lima - Steady, Kid Lyrics

He tied his shoes, but he packed his wings for caution's sake
Just in case he flies before he walks away
Shaking heads tried warning that he'd fall today
But he knows better than to give his fantasies to them
It's heavy when the wings unfold
But it's heavy just to carry them
I've seen you son and your eyes are gone
Give your feet a rest, you're further than you thought

Steady, kid, the winds are strong
Steady as you move along
You'll miss the roads you're coming from
You'll love the wind when the wind is gone

So, he found the highest peak inside his head and leapt
As the child within him smiled at that old promise kept
So, he left Manhattan searching for a place to land
And the city didn't seem to care or call him back
It was heavy but the wings unfolded
It was heavy just to trust they'd hold him
I've seen you son, your eyes were stolen
You'll never see what they've been showing you

Steady, kid, the winds are strong
Steady as you move along
You'll miss the roads you're coming from
You'll love the wind when the wind is gone

This fantasy, you're in it kid
Don't sell yourself a limit yet
You'll have more to see with wider eyes than this
There's never been a road to walk
Each mile behind you're further from
Just turn your head don't keep on looking straight

Steady, kid, the winds are strong
Steady as you move along
You'll miss the roads you're coming from
You'll love the wind when the wind is gone
You'll love the wind
You'll love the wind
You'll love the wind when the wind is gone
You'll love the wind when the wind is gone
