(Verse 1)
I folded up my fears like paper cranes
Hoping they’d take flight, drift away with the rain
But every time I try to let them go
They circle back like they don’t want me to grow

(Pre-Chorus)
And I’ve been searching for a softer place to land
A voice that says, “you’re stronger than you understand”

(Chorus)
I’ve got paper wings, they tear, they bend
But they still carry me again
Through the fire, through the night
Fragile but I’ll be alright
I’ve got paper wings, they may not shine
But they’re the only ones that are mine

(Verse 2)
I trace the lines of scars I used to hide
Now they’re the maps that lead me back to life
The world can be unkind, it doesn’t always change
But I’ll keep hoping kindness finds a way

(Pre-Chorus)
And if I falter, I’ll remember where I’ve been
Every broken piece still taught me how to begin

(Chorus)
I’ve got paper wings, they tear, they bend
But they still carry me again
Through the fire, through the night
Fragile but I’ll be alright
I’ve got paper wings, they may not shine
But they’re the only ones that are mine

(Bridge)
One day the wind will lift me higher
Past the smoke, beyond the fire
I’ll trust the weight my heart can bring
Even with these paper wings

(Final Chorus/Outro)
I’ve got paper wings, they tear, they bend
But they still carry me again
Through the fire, through the night
Fragile but I’ll be alright
I’ve got paper wings, they may not shine
But they’re the only ones that are mine
