Waiting on the Wind
In the middle of the meadow I sit staring at my kiteA ball of string and a paper dream that I could not make flyThen daddy pulled it to the sky, behind him as he ranAnd said, "Girl don't be caught waiting on the wind"The time comes when a young girl wants to leave the nest and flyI stood there sad and proud and smiled through tears and said goodbyeI gave you boosts, I gave you wings and girl I understandAn eagle can't sit waiting on the windIf you rise for every challenge, if you run to catch your dreamsThat star that you keep reaching for is closer than it seemsHeaven and earth reward all those who try and try againAnd will not be caught waiting on the windWhatever strength you find in me I thank my father forHis wisdom faith and courage set me on a steady courseAnd when my sails are empty their words lift me up againAnd I will not be caught waiting on the windIf you rise for every challenge, if you run to catch your dreamsThat star that you keep reaching for is closer than it seemsStorms of life may force you to change courses now and thenBut never be caught waiting on the windNever be caught waiting, never be caught waiting on the wind
