our tears I'm changing, Rearranging my destiny Learning to fly Touching sky on my way Learning to fly High above the sorrows To a new day I fly Not where you stand Nor where you are It matters only where you look To take the good With (all that's) bad It is the only way to go The minutes The hours The years Run fast Learning to fly Touching sky on my way Learning to fly High above the sorrows To a new day I fly Learning to fly Touching sky on my way Learning to fly High above the sorrows I fly Learning to fly Touching sky on my way Learning to fly High above the sorrows To a new day I fly
