about

I don’t want to just BE alive, I want to FEEL alive.

lyrics

My heart is breaking every day
It’s started showing me the way
A secret whispered in my ear
Wash the earth with simple tears

I want to fly
I need to fly
I want to fly
Why can’t I fly

A leaf is quaking in the breeze
It’s got me shaking on my knees
The sun is hiding then appears
A day becomes a hundred years

I want to fly
I need to fly
I want to fly
Why can’t I fly

Human time goes at its own time
It’s got its’ rhythm, it’s got its’ own rhyme
Ignoring deadlines, it takes its sweet time
If we ignore it, we’ve crossed a red line

I walk ahead into the wind
The leaves are down but I’m all in
The earth’s a cradle not a grave
A gentle rocking’s all I crave

I want to fly
I need to fly
I want to fly
Why can’t I fly

I want to fly
I need to fly
I want to fly
I need to fly

My heart is breaking every day
But it’s showing me the way
My heart is breaking every day
It’s showing me the way
