Spread Your Wings
Blind Guardian Lyrics

Sammy was low,
Sammy was feeling sad,

Just watching the show,
He was just observing things happening around him,

Over and over again.
This was a recurring feeling for him.

He knew it was time,
He realized that it was the right moment,

He'd made up his mind,
He had decided,

To leave his dead life behind.
To move on from his unfulfilling existence.

His boss said to him
His superior at work told him,

Boy, you'd better begin
That he needs to start taking action,

To get those crazy notions
To get rid of his unrealistic hopes,

Right out of your head
To stop dreaming and face reality.

Sammy who do you think that you are?
He was asked to question his self-worth,

You should have been sweeping,
He was told that he should have been doing menial labor elsewhere,

At the emerald bar.
At the lowest point of societal status.

Spread your wings and fly away,
Take a chance and leave everything behind,

Fly away, far away.
Fly to far off lands,

Spread your little wings and fly away
Take that leap of faith,

Pull yourself together,
Get a grip,

'cause you know you should do better,
Because you know you're capable of more,

That's because you're a free man.
Because you have the freedom to explore life to the fullest.

He spends his evenings alone,
He spends his nights by himself,

In his hotelroom.
In a space that's not truly his,

Keeping his thoughts to himself,
He keeps his thoughts to himself,

He'd be leaving soon.
He planned on leaving soon,

Wishing he was miles and miles away,
He dreams of being far away from his current life,

Nothing in this world, nothing,
No person or thing,

Would make him stay.
Would make him remain where he is.

Since he was small,
Since he was a child,

Had no luck at all,
He had no good fortune,

Nothing came easy to him.
Success never came easily to him.

Now it was time,
It's finally the right time,

This could be my last chance
This might be his final opportunity.

His boss said to him
His superior at work would criticize him,

Now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
He was told he had his head in the clouds,

You got no real ambition,
He lacks direction,

You won't get worried for.
He won't stress about job security.

Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
He was asked if he knows his own worth,

Why can't you be happy,
He was told he lacks contentment,

At the emerald bar?
In the least promising of places.

(So honey) spread you wings and fly away,
His loved ones encourage him to take the leap,

Fly away, far away.
Travel to faraway lands,

Spread your little wings and fly away,
Take off bravely,

Fly away, far away.
Fly far away,

Pull yourself together,
Be strong,

'Cause you know you should do better,
Because you're capable of making something of yourself,

That's because your a free man.
Because you're free to take charge of your own life.

Come on honey (fly with me)...
His loved ones encourage him to take the journey with them.
