If you have wings but never leave the ground, there is no hope to get anywhere but also no fear of falling. If we rely on our own strength, we will never truly leave the ground and we will feel cold as we are unable to fly from the winter approaching. It's a strange and depressing expectation that everything will slowly freeze over, but we are too afraid to put our faith in the sky. The sky is unpredictable and difficult to understand, much like God, but without it we will never escape the coming winter.
The last verse describes the sky, or God, crying because we refuse to take flight. But as we attempt to stay comfortable, God is waiting so patiently for us to trust in Him. That being said, don't be afraid of what the truth will uncover. If the sky is really our only hope, we have to accept that sometimes it brings storms as well. We have to pick the side of a difficult truth which leads to life or blissful ignorance that will cause us to die. It is time to choose your battle: will you fight for yourself, which is easy to fight but impossible to win, or will you fight for something greater, which is hard to fight but possible to win?
