As we saw in chapter eleven, “Second Person and the Hangman,” simply telling people what they already know doesn't make for credible dialogue.

Third-Person Narrative

Finally, look at the point of view of the actual lyric of this song, “Give Me Wings,” by Don Schlitz and Rhonda Kye Fleming:

He asked her, “What gifts can I bring you

To prove that my love for you is true?

I want to make you mine forever

There's nothing on this Earth I would not do”

She said, “Anything I have wanted

You have given willingly

So now there's only one more thing I need

If you love me, give me wings

Don't be afraid if I fly

A bird in a cage will forget how to sing

If you love me, give me wings”

He walked over to the window

Silently stared into space

He said, “I just want to protect you

'Cause this world is a dangerous place”

She put her arms around him

She said, “I know you mean well,

But there's lessons I must learn for myself

If you love me, give me wings

Don't be afraid if I fly

A bird in a cage will forget how to sing

If you trust me, give me wings”

She said, “Up above the clouds you can see forever

And I know you and I could learn to fly together

If you love me, give me wings

Don't be afraid if I fly

A bird in a cage will forget how to sing

If you trust me, give me wings

If you really love me, give me wings”
