Flying Without Wings

I'm not a Westlife fan but I’ve been listening to their songs lately and am pleasantly surprised that they have really good ones.  And one that I really liked, loved actually, is the song “Flying Without Wings” (circa 2009, I think).  When I first heard it, I was smiling to myself, speechless... an avalanche of thoughts running through my head.  The lyrics are just so meaningful; the message, very profound.

It's a song meant for that one person you value the most in life, someone you can’t live without, so to speak.  Cliche as it may sound, it’s about finding that one person or thing that would make your life complete.  Not everybody gets to do that in a lifetime, don’t you think?  Too bad the music video failed to capture that very essence.  I’m including the lyrics and MV here, you be the judge.

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Coz who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

It's the little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
‘Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
