" Who I Was Born to Be "
From her 2009 Album, "I Dreamed a Dream"
"
When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
and I heard a song in the breeze
it was there, singing out my name.
But I 'm not a girl
I 've known the taste of defeat
and I 've finally grown to believe
it will all come around again.
Tthough I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I 'm free
And if the questions
led me here, then
I am who I was born to be.
And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I 've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly.
Though I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I 'm free
And if the questions
led me here, then
I am who I was born to be.
When I was a child
there were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark.
Tthough I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I 'm free
And if the questions
led me here, then
I am who I was born to be...
I am who I was born to be. "
Susan Boyle ... "Spread My Wings and Fly "
" Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness, no more pain
No more anger, no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky...
If now, I could grant my wish
I 'd wish to have those wings
Those wings just like the birds
That fly up in the air
So high up in the air
With feathers bright and fair
No wealth nor power can make
My heart filled with such joy
Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness, no more pain
No more anger, no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky...
to fly...
Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness, no more pain
No more anger, no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky... the sky. "
