lyrics

Alexandra is growing wings.

Soon they will be strong enough to lift her heavenward from her window ledge, away from the cruel world where each dirty look conveys the unsaid.

Her feathers shed worse in the pollen of late spring, and the rumour is out: Alexandra is growing wings.

Her father cooks her breakfast and helps her shove her bones into her dress.

Always a size too small, but she never says.

In the hot summer air, children are screaming from the swings.
Up in the attic, Alexandra is growing wings.

She flaps around her room,
but it never feels like ascension.
Says, “God please intercede, if I have your attention”

And she recalls an old Sunday school lesson

about the leap of faith

One step is all it takes.

Alexandra is growing wings
