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

Ive 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 ya

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 lookin' 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
