First Wings
A small bird takes its first flight, wobbling the whole way, and gets off the ground.

on. Deep breath. … There you go.
The sun rubbed its sleepy eyes,
the hill said, ""
A little blue bird with a great big dream
and .
Not the fastest, not the tallest,
not the bravest one they've seen—
But spread your little wings! (whoa-oh-oh!)
lean into the air—
first wings, first wings,
!
Up, up, off the ground! (yeah-yeah!)
the whole big sky to share—
first wings, first wings,
look at you up there!
The grass waved, "Bye-bye-bye!"
the breeze gave a friendly shove,
two little wings remembered how
and caught the morning above.
You can wobble, you can wiggle,
you can squeak a little "eep!"—
Every great big flyer,
,
started with one shaky flap—
exactly like you do. (clap-clap!)
First wings… good wings… go on, little pilot. Fly.
Words in this song
Goggles
Big glasses with a strap that seal all the way around your eyes, so wind, rain and dust cannot get in while you fly.
Off you pop!
A cheerful British way of saying “go on then, off you go.” It is kind, not cross.
a heart that went tick-tock
A heart beating fast and loud, the way a clock sounds in a very quiet room. Here it means excited and a bit nervous, both at once.
a wobble and a flap and a prayer
A prayer is a hope said out loud, usually when something matters a great deal. The album is named after this idea.
every captain of the blue
The captain is the pilot in charge of an aircraft. “The blue” is the sky — so a captain of the blue is anyone who has learned to fly it.
