Used to be a time
we held the world.
Wrapped it 'round our fingertips
laughing at what others missed. Someday, yesterday?
The magic we felt, went away.
Grow up somebody said....tell me where it's gone
so I can go find it now. I can't live your way
go ahead without me.
I'll find my own way.
Some people fly...and some of us worry of touching the
sun with wings. I know if I try I'll get where I'm going
keeping my eyes on the sky
The box you live within is strong and it's up to you
to see beyond that comfort zone you've grown to love
There's more to life than that. The expectation that
you hold will keep you down, make you old
If you can't see what I'm trying to say, maybe you just
need to wear my shoes for a while. I can't live your way
Go ahead without me
I'll find my own way.
Some people fly...and some of us worry
I'd risk it all to have wings. I know if I try
I'll get where I'm going, keeping my eyes on the sky
While you sit there and think about it, there's another
unfolding their wings. I can tell you what it's like, but
until you try you'll never see what I mean
Some people fly...and some of us worry
I'll touch the sun with my wings. I know if I try
I'll get where I'm going, keeping my eyes on the sky
Keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on the sky
