Wings
Little Mix · DNA [2012]
Mama told me not to waste my life
she says 'spread your wings my little butterfly
don't let what they say keep you up at night
and if they give you sh.. then they can walk on by'
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
and I can't hear a sound
but you just keep on running up your mouth yeah
Walk, walk on over there
cause I'm to fly to care oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing

don't let what they say keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
cause wings are made to fly'
