Little Wings

[Verse 1]
Here's what I'm not gonna teach you
That you should be afraid to try
Or if you aren't good, you'll get a lump of coal
Or swim in fire when you die
I won't teach you you're not enough
Or that you need to fit in
Or there's a vengeful god in the sky
Keepin' track of all your sins

[Pre-Chorus]
What a scary thing to know
The gravity that hangs on my voice

[Chorus]
I don't know what I'm doin'
But I know what I've got
And sometimes, when I don't know who I am
I make a list of what I'm not
It's just me and your mama
Buildin' our little team
Hopin' everything we do and don't teach you
Helps you grow little wings
Grow little wings

[Verse 2]
Here's what I'm not gonna teach you
That you should always get the shiny new toy
Don't give your cares to those who compare
They'll steal away your joy
I don't wanna teach you the good die young
Or the lie about greener grass
Or that boys don't cry, or your mama and I
Will love you less if you come in last

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a scary thing to know
The gravity that hangs on my voice

[Chorus]
I don't know what I'm doin'
But I know what we've got
And sometimes, when I don't know who I am
I make a list of what I'm not
It's just me and your mama
Makin' it up as we go
Hopin' everything we do and don't teach you
Helps your little wings grow
Me and your mama
Buildin' our little team
Hopin' everything we do and don't teach you
Helps you grow little wings
Grow little wings
Grow little wings
