Wings
Barbie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was living in a fantasy,
Waiting for somebody to rescue me,
But I've found a way to light the dark.
It was always here inside my heart.
No more fairy tale pretending
I'll make my own happy ending.

If I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings.
I wouldn't reach up to the sky,
Every night, in my dreams.
There's a voice inside of me
Saying I can do anything,
'Cause if I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings.

There's a star that's shining down on me.
Reflecting everything that I can be.
Every journey starts inside the heart,
And there's no mountain that's too far.
If I set my mind to it,
Whatever it is, I can do it
.

If I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings.
I wouldn't reach up to the sky,
Every night, in my dreams.
There's a voice inside of me
Saying I can do anything,
'Cause if I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings...

To take me farther
Than I ever thought I'd go.
Higher than the heavens,
'Cause deep inside I know...

If I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings.
I wouldn't reach up to the sky,
Every night, in my dreams.
There's a voice inside of me
Saying I can do anything,




'Cause if I wasn't meant to fly,
I wouldn't have these wings.

Overall Meaning

In "Wings" by Barbie, the singer describes a transformation from waiting for someone else to save her to realizing that the power to succeed was with her all along. She sings about the inner voice that encourages her and the realization that she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to.


The first verse mentions the singer's prior reliance on a fantasy world where she hoped someone would rescue her. She then explains that she discovered a strength within herself that had been there all along. She no longer pretends to live in fairy tales and will make her own happy ending. The pre-chorus emphasizes this newfound agency and how she is powerfully motivated by her inner voice.


The chorus conveys the theme of the song, which is the idea that everyone has the potential to reach great heights. Barbie sings that if she wasn't meant to fly, she wouldn't have wings. She emphasizes the point that the potential to soar is within all of us and that we should trust ourselves to reach out towards the sky.


Throughout the second verse, Barbie emphasizes an optimistic outlook on life. She sings about how everything starts from within, and if we believe in ourselves, then there is nothing that we cannot achieve. She ends the song with the conclusion that she can go further than she ever imagined, and that her power lies within her wings.

But I've found a way to light the dark.
Instead of relying on someone else to light up my life, I found a way to do it myself.


It was always here inside my heart.
The solution to my problems was within me all along, and only I had the power to access it.


No more fairy tale pretending
I don't need to pretend anymore that my life is a fairy tale and that someone will come to help me.


I'll make my own happy ending.
I'm taking charge of my life and creating my own happily ever after.


If I wasn't meant to fly,
If I wasn't supposed to reach for the stars and achieve my goals,


I wouldn't have these wings.
I wouldn't feel the inner drive and potential to accomplish great things.


There's a voice inside of me
I have an inner voice that inspires and motivates me,


Saying I can do anything,
telling me that I have the capability to achieve anything I set my mind to,


'Cause if I wasn't meant to fly,
because if I wasn't meant to soar high and reach for my dreams,

It shows me all the things I'm capable of and all the potential that I have inside of me.


Every journey starts inside the heart,
All successes start with me believing in myself and my abilities within my heart.


And there's no mountain that's too far.
There's no obstacle that can't be overcome no matter how big they are or how high they seem.


If I set my mind to it,
If I focus my energy and determination towards something,


Whatever it is, I can do it.
I can accomplish any goal, no matter how challenging, if I put in the effort.


To take me farther
to help me go beyond my current limits


Than I ever thought I'd go.
to help me achieve more than I thought was ever possible for myself.


Higher than the heavens,
to achieve success beyond earthly measures.


'Cause deep inside I know...
Because I have an unwavering belief inside of me...


If I wasn't meant to fly,
if I wasn't meant to achieve great things and reach for my dreams,


I wouldn't have these wings.
I wouldn't have the inner drive and potential to rise above my circumstances and achieve success.
