Full Song Lyrics:
VERSE
Am
In the corner of our dreams, where shadows lie
E
We built our castle high
F
With paper wings, we tried to fly,
C
Into the waiting sky.
VERSE
Am
In the silence of the night, beneath the stars
E
We traced our deepest scars
F
With hopeful hearts, we’d wander far,
C
Chasing a falling star.
CHORUS
G
With paper wings, we dared to dream,
Am
Unfurling hopes, unseen.
F
Even when the night seemed grim,
C
We soared on love’s sweet hymn.
VERSE
Am
Through the labyrinth of life, with faith, we tread,
E
Bearing the stories unsaid.
F
With paper wings, we lightly tread,
C
In the dreams that we’ve thread.
CHORUS
G
With paper wings, we dared to dream,
Am
Unfurling hopes, unseen.
F
Even when the night seemed grim,
C
We rose above the din.
ENDING
Am
With paper wings, we dared to dream,
G
We soared on love’s sweet hymn.
F
From the ashes, we became,
C
The heroes in our game.
