Author's note: This was originally written for my Moulin Rouge fanfiction piece, "Her Hosea." There are two more verses up only there, because they were directly related to elements of the story, and wouldn't make much sense out of context.

Finally fixed the formatting. ;o) And, I did put the chorus between each verse, just as extra insurance that it will be read correctly. I've never tried writing a song before. :o) Review, and I'll love you forever.

Wings

They've doubted me

Through all these years,

I've borne my grief,

I've shed my tears…

And finally, now, I see

That all these things were meant to be….

'Cause, truth be told,

They didn't think

That you could fly;

They said I'd sink

But together, love, together

Forever, love, forever

We'll grow our wings

And together, we'll fly away.

'Cause finally

I see in you

That all I've hoped-

It will come true

When someday as I'm hopin'

Your eyes will truly open….

'Cause, truth be told

They didn't think

That you could fly;

They said I'd sink.

But together, love, together

Forever, love, forever

We'll grow our wings

And together, we'll fly away.

We've come so far

In one short night

That I can sense

A distant light

To illuminate

Your endless night

Just place your trust in me

And you'll begin to see….

'Cause, truth be told,

They didn't think

That you could fly;

They said I'd sink

But together, love, together

Forever, love, forever

We'll grow our wings

And together, we'll fly away.

'Cause I can't live without you

There's just something about you

You are my hope

And you could be my joy…

So I'm beggin', love, I'm pleadin'

You see these things that I believe in…

Give me a chance

To loosen up

Those binds around your heart….

'Cause, truth be told,

They didn't think

That you could fly;

They said I'd sink

But together, love, together

Forever, love, forever

We'll grow our wings

And together, we'll fly away.
