King was a racer, so fast and so strong
Flying in races is where he belonged.
But one day, a big hawk swooped out of the sky!
King tumbled and crashed, now he couldn't fly.

Skipper was small, but brave as could be.
She lived in a nest high up in the city.
One blustery day, the wind gave a shout
It tugged at her feathers and tossed her about.

With a gust and a swirl, Skipper lost her way,
Tumbling down,
down,
down,
and try as she may --
She landed hard with a thump! on the street,
Her tiny leg was broken, but she got to her feet.

Also in the birdie hospital, King hung his head.
"Without my wings, I'm nothing!" he said
"Racing is all I've ever known" he whispered softly,
feeling so alone.

Skipper saw him, all tucked in his nest,
Looking so gloomy, not feeling his best.
"What's wrong?" she asked, with a tilt of her head,
King sighed, 'I can't fly anymore" and felt nothing but dread.

"How can I race like this?" King sighed,
"I was the fastest in the city, and now I can't glide."
Skipper smiled, "We'll get you there, you'll see!
Come on, King, hop along, and learn to fly again with me"

Skipper hopped fast, her feathers so bright,
"Flying takes courage, not just speed and height!
You might not race again, but you're still YOU,
BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo - you'll remember what to do!"

With a little flap and a hop by his side,
Skipper helped King, and soon enough, he tried!
"One flap, two flaps, don't give up quite yet!"
BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo - King had started to sweat

Day by day, King gave it another try,
with Skipper cheering "You're going so high!"
They flapped together in the warm sunlight
Flying was hard, but they kept up the fight.

And soon King flew higher with each hopeful try,
"BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo" they called to the sky.
Skipper smiled and chirped "I knew from the start,
You weren't trying to race, you were flying to my heart!"

No need for a trophy, no race to win
The joys of flying and friendship were now deep within.
Together they soared, hearts light in the air,
"BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo" what a perfect pair!

If you listen close, you can hear the sound,
Of two little pigeons, their hearts unbound.
Side by side, high up in flight,
BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo, oh, what a sight!
Sometimes it just takes a friend to show
the strength that you have, you might not even know!
BIG WINGS! Coo-Coo, we ALL can fly,
On a Wing and a Hope, we'll reach the sky!
