Wings
4Him Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They were certain to grace the heavens that awaited
Orville and Wilbur had figured it right
At their moment of fate
Their destiny had come to this time and place
For beyond anyone's expectations
They lifted into the skies of blue
The crowd must have longed for
Their own rendezvous
Give me my wings
I'm ready to fly today
Ready to wave my worries goodbye
Give me my wings
I'm ready to ride away
Ready to leave my troubles behind
What's over my hand will soon be under my feet
Give me my wings
Those who patiently wait are made new
Through the turbulent times
Somehow they survive it
They will walk and not faint, this is true
Through the currents of life
Even though it throws them from side to side
So I'm waiting on you through the weather
We'll take a trip where the eagles dare
And we're gonna go through it together
'Cause I've got your promise
You'll carry me there
Give me my wings
I'm ready to fly today
Ready to wave my worries goodbye
Give me my wings
I'm ready to ride away
Ready to leave my troubles behind
What's over my hand will soon be under my feet
Give me my wings
I can sail through the trials of life
Lord, you're my captain
And you're always there to guide me
I've fixed my compass
And I've set my sights on the ride
The song "Wings" by 4Him speaks about the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and their dreams of flying. The first verse describes the two brothers as having visions of flight and being certain that they would one day grace the heavens. The chorus then repeats the phrase, "give me my wings," as if the singer too has dreams of flight and wishes to be given the opportunity to fly away from their troubles.
The second verse shifts the focus to the idea of waiting patiently and surviving through turbulent times in order to achieve great things. The singer declares that they are "waiting on you through the weather," possibly referring to God or a higher power, and that together they will take a trip "where the eagles dare," which is likely a metaphor for reaching great heights and overcoming obstacles.
Overall, the song is about the human desire for freedom and the ability to rise above one's problems. It is also about having faith and determination through difficult times in order to ultimately achieve success.
