Flights Escape

Verse 1

I’m standing on the same old corner,

While the world keeps running past.

Feels like everybody’s moving,

And I’m stuck behind the glass.

I’ve been holding all these questions,

’Bout the man I’m meant to be—

But every time I close my eyes

I see a sky calling to me.

Pre-Chorus

And I know I ain’t meant for the ground forever…

Something in me whispers, “Boy, it’s time.”

Yeah, every heartbeat’s pushing me higher,

I can feel the wind catching in my spine…

Chorus

’Cause I’m standing still in a world rushing by,

But I’m waiting on the moment I break through the sky.

There’s a pull in my soul like I’m born to rise—

I’m overwhelmed by the feeling,

Yeah, the feeling to fly.

So I’ll hold my breath ’til the light hits my eyes,

Let the noise down below fade out of my life.

I ain’t grounded forever—no, I’m learning to try.

’Cause I’m aching for the feeling,

Yeah, the feeling to fly.

⸻

Verse 2

I’ve walked through every shadowed season,

Carried storms I never named.

I’ve been scared of my own freedom,

I’ve been loyal to my pain.

But there’s a crack inside the armor,

And the sun keeps bleeding through.

Maybe breaking’s just the doorway

To becoming something new.

Pre-Chorus

And I’m done pretending I’m built for falling—

There’s a promise burning deep inside.

Every doubt starts fading when I hear it calling,

There’s a place for me beyond this quiet sky…

Chorus

’Cause I’m standing still in a world rushing by,

But I’m waiting on the moment I break through the sky.

There’s a pull in my soul like I’m born to rise—

I’m overwhelmed by the feeling,

Yeah, the feeling to fly.

So I’ll hold my breath ’til the light hits my eyes,

Let the noise down below fade out of my life.

I ain’t grounded forever—no, I’m learning to try.

’Cause I’m aching for the feeling,

Yeah, the feeling to fly.

⸻

Bridge

Maybe the wings were always there—

I just never spread ’em wide.

Maybe the fall don’t mean I’m broken,

Maybe it’s how I learn to climb.

If this heart was made for something,

Then tonight I’ll touch the sky.

God, I’m ready—if you’re ready—

Lift me up and let me rise.

⸻

Final Chorus (Lift)

I’ve been standing still while the world rushes by,

But I feel it in my bones—I was meant for the climb.

There’s a pull in my soul like I’m born to rise—

I’m overwhelmed by the feeling,

Yeah, the feeling to fly.

And I’ll chase that light ’til it fills up my eyes,

Leave the weight of this world on the ground behind.

I ain’t grounded forever—no, tonight I’ll try.

’Cause I’m aching for the feeling,

Yeah, I’m reaching for the feeling,

I’m finally ready for the feeling…

Yeah, the feeling to fly.
