Giving Reasons

“Take these wings” is such a beautiful song that I was deeply moved on hearing it at the chorus.

“I found a sparrow…Her life I knew would soon be at an end….she said, ‘My friend, take these wings and learn to fly….’” In the first paragraph, the sparrow which is dying wants to devote what she possesses to the human. I admire her nobility for it’s difficult for us to give even we know that we can’t be the owner. As for the refrain, “‘Take these eyes and learn to see, all the things so dear to me. Take these songs…fill your voice with all the joys of spring….’” Although she is on the verge of dying, she still tries to teach people to treasure what we hold. Tiny as eyes or songs, we should appreciate their existence. Moreover, we should cherish everything we have and make the best use of it as well. “I found another sparrow…whose life had just begun….I smiled at him and said, ‘My son, take these wings….’” The spirit of rebirth and the chain of love really appeal to me. I realize that there is always laughter following behind the sorrow, which inspires me to stay joyful as suffering the pain.

I was touched not only by the elegant music but also by the spirit inside it. And I also learned a lot from the sweet lyrics.
