Wings of Eagle-Vessele (©vessele2013)

(In light of all that's happened this year--from the Boston Marathon Bombings (when I wrote this song) to the shooting at LAX last friday...i hope this song encourages everyone and fills everyone with hope in a seemingly crazy time.) 

I wrote this song right after the Boston Marathon bombings happened because I was so shaken--the event truly made me come face to face with how fragile life really is--that we aren't guaranteed a tomorrow. I had been in Boston on the same streets that were bombed the next day just the day before sightseeing with my family--this song wasn't meant to be a depressing song about impending doom though. It was meant to be one of encouragement to keep going and keep the faith through Him--because despite all the chaos, the truth is...there's always hope...ALWAYS. And, with Him, there's no need to be afraid.  

Hope this encourages whoever listens to it. 

Love,

Vessele

Wings of Eagles 

Verse 1:

It wasn’t supposed to be like this/the good was supposed to win/the evil was supposed to die/so how can i keep going on/when the world is caving in/and i cannot keep strong

Pre-chorus:

But amidst all those times when I don’t know if i’ve got tomorrow/and amidst all those times where there seems to be so much sorrow/i just need to remember

Chorus:

that i’ll fly on the wings of eagles/with courage knowing who i am/never to fall will stand strong/with the faith that He will be with me/till the end

Verse 2:

they say it’s all up to the fates/of how life’s gonna go/and how it’s all gonna end/but now that doesn’t seem good enough/to keep me reassured/and give me peace of mind

Bridge:

cuz it’s all out of our control/and it’s all out of what we’re meant to hold onto/there’s nothing left to do

Chorus 2:

so just fly on the wings of His eagles/with courage knowing who you are/never to fall will stand strong/with the faith that He will be with you/till the end

As I am

Verse 1: 

I can imagine myself now/a girl’s foot propped up on an old school building/knitted hat in tow/cigarette butt falling to the ground

Pre-Chorus 1:

And now i realize this isn’t fun and games anymore, anymore/and now i realize it may be my turn to run out the door 

Chorus 1:

Cuz I wish that I could tell someone that I don’t want the sun to fall on me and/I can’t believe that I could break the brokenhearted soul with the dullness of my own

Verse 2:

There’s another walking down/chin-up gesture and a lighter comes on out/brought together bound with their thoughts of feeling doubt 

Verse 3:

I really tried to help her/cuz we’re all looking for the same questions and answers/and nothing seems to work/’cuz we’re both still feeling so hurt 

Bridge:

And it’s harder to let it go/and it’s harder to say no/and it’s harder to think that there might be a way

Pre-Chorus 2:

And now I realize this isn’t the way it was to be from the start/and now I realize there may be only one above who knows my heart

Chorus 2:

Cuz I’m tired of hearing all the lies and all that people may have thrown on me and/I’m ready now to raise my hands and say God I’m done so please take me as I am
