[Chorus: Ngaiire]
(I spread my wings and I start to fly)
(I fell from the stars and I touched the sky)
But they ain't never told you this story
My heart full of pain and glory
I spread my wings and I start to fly
I fell from the stars and I touched the sky
But they ain't never told you this story
My heart full of pain and glory
[Verse 1: Birdz]
I can never let it go, I can never let 'em down
Hear the spirit of my flow, yeah I know they still around
When they talk to me like, "What you doin' with your life?"
Hold that head up high and when the time come I'll be there
Rollin' with the pride of a lion (Lion)
And I never let another man tell me who I am
Never cared to break bread with the lions (Lions)
I'm well aware that they dead but I'm flyin', I'll buy 'em
[Chorus: Ngaiire]
I spread my wings and I start to fly
I fell from the stars and I touched the sky
But they ain't never told you this story
My heart full of pain and glory
I spread my wings and I start to fly
I fell from the stars and I touched the sky
But they ain't never told you this story
My heart full of pain and glory
[Bridge: Ngaiire]
'Cause what we hold
Is treasure and gold
And all we know is
Can never let it go
What we hold (In ways)
Is treasure and gold (Hey, hey)
All we know is
Can never let it go
[Verse 2: Birdz]
And never let 'em take it from ya (Never)
Hold on tight, stand up right, when the pressure on
Show the press and the clutch, bend on in or double down
When they double up, all we got is faith and love
They don't give a fuck (Huh)
[Pre-Chorus: Birdz & Ngairre & Birdz]
Stress be luxury where I'm from
I'm caught in the middle, I come, I come (Yeah)
Waitin' by the window on how I come
'Til the day I fly away, over the sun
[Chorus: Ngaiire, Birdz & Ngairre & Birdz]
I spread my wings and I start to fly
I fell from the stars and I touched the sky
But they ain't never told you this story
My heart full of pain and glory
Ohh-ohh, ohh-oh
Oh touch the sky (Woo)
(Uh-huh, never)
My heart full of pain and glory
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah
Yeah
Never
My heart full of pain and glory (Uh-huh)
Yeah
Yeah
Never
My heart full of pain and glory
It’s about realising my self-worth and trying to put that message out there. As Indigenous people there’s always going to be obstacles in the way, wanting to hold you down or hold you back, but really realising where we come from and the power in that and the strength you can get from that.
