You 

Going through this stage 

It's a restless age 

Young and insecure 

Still 

There are doubts to fade 

Moments to be made 

And one of them is yours 

On the wire 

Balancing your dreams 

Hoping ends will meet their means 

But you feel alone 

Uninspired 

Well does it help you to 

Know that I believe in you 

You're an angel waiting for wings
