Learn to Fly

This is a song that I wrote to a ukulele piece that my stepbrother (Username: Dubz) made up. Would love suggustions for improvement as this is the first song (besides the Maria Antonia Rap ;) that I have ever wrote.

Which way am I wandering
Dreams have led me here before
Breeze brushing teary cheeks
I close my eyes and wish to soar

Do I dare to ask the questions
The answer I'm afraid to know
Find the seed of peace 
And let it grow.

I'm waking up
My heart is free
I'm no houdini
But chains can't hold me
Hands reaching for a splintered sky
Wings torn and broken
I learn to fly.

Watch the seasons slowly falter
Rainy days and starry nights
Sun dripping like a ripe mango
Grab my hands and take flight.

Scared of darkness and of shadows
Reflecting on a shrouded past
Clocks spin in sychronized circles
Leap and don't look back

I'm waking up
My heart is free
I'm no houdini 
But chains can't hold me
Hands reaching for the splintered sky
Wings torn and broken
I learn to fly

Throw me down and push me out
But peace and love will never leave
Stars can't penetrate your glazed expression
Just step back and breathe.

The earth twirls like a lonely dancer
Coiled spirals twisted tight
I give my spirit to the wind 
And let it teach me flight.
