Sting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a circus mind
That's running wild.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright she says
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly on little wing
Sting's song "Little Wing" is about a free-spirited girl who lives in her own imaginative world. She is constantly lost in a world of fairy tales, butterflies, zebras, and moonbeams, and has a circus-like mind that is running wild. The girl appears to have no worries as she walks through the clouds, but the singer senses a different side of her. He understands when she is feeling down, and he is her comforting shoulder. He describes her as a little wing that is flying away from her troubles when she is with him.
The young girl seems to have a unique view of the world that is different from everyone else's. The line "That's all she ever thinks about, riding the wind" implies that she is constantly in search of new experiences and adventures. When she is with the singer, she is a source of positivity, giving him a thousand smiles and telling him that everything is alright. She offers herself up to him in any way she can, saying "Take anything you want from me, anything." She is carefree and genuine, and the singer sees her as someone who is on a journey that he cannot join.

Sting's song "Gabriel's Message" is a rendition of the biblical story of the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel visits Mary to inform her that she is to be the mother of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe Gabriel's appearance as he descends from heaven with his wings as white as snow and eyes as bright as flames. Upon seeing Mary, Gabriel greets her with the words "All hail, thou lowly maiden Mary, Most highly favored lady," referring to her as a blessed mother and foretelling that her son will be Emmanuel, as prophesized by seers.
Mary's response to Gabriel's message is one of humility and acceptance, as she meekly bows her head and says, "To me be as it pleaseth God," praising and magnifying His holy name. The lyrics are a beautiful interpretation of this pivotal moment in Christian history, showcasing the wonder and awe of Gabriel's visitation, and the steadfast faith and acceptance of Mary's response.
