From the recording This Cocoon
This song was written in the style of a lullaby but has deeper meaning. There are times when we all must leave the safety of our cocoons, take our wings, and go on a courageous journey meant only for us. I dedicate this to my nieces: Caitlyn, Alisia, and Emma.
Lyrics
It’s time for you to leave this cocoon
To fly and cast your shadow on the moon
Been the longest sleep you’ve ever known
Now take your wings and go
Still, it’s a struggle to be born
The thread that held your freedom is worn
But destiny awaits to say hello
So, take your wings and go
There are only, so many, moons left to fly
And I’m thankful, for the growing years
But now we have to say goodbye
And look adventure in the eye
It’s time for you to leave this cocoon
You’ve outgrown this captive room
Where the breeze will blow you, you won’t know
Just take your wings and go
There are only, so many, moons left to fly
And I’m thankful, for the growing years
But now we have to say goodbye
And look adventure in the eye
It’s time for you to leave this cocoon
To fly and cast your shadow on the moon
Been the longest sleep you’ve ever known
Now take your wings and go
Just take your wings and go
