"Wings of My Own" is a song that again taps into those religious themes that are common in early 20th-century spirituals. It’s all about that sense of freedom and the idea of life after death, but there’s more to it than just the spiritual side. When I sing about flying on "wings of my own," I’m also talking about breaking free from whatever holds you back in life.
The lyrics—"One thing I know is when my time is done, I’ll fly on wings of my own"—capture a feeling of being untethered, of escaping from chains and constraints. It’s about fostering an unshakable belief that nothing can keep you down. This song is a mix of spiritual hope and a call to carve your own path, no matter what.
