[Intro]
I leave the ground with a laugh in my chest
Open blue above me, no need to guess
[Verse 1]
Canvas shoes on the edge of the rail
Morning air pulls hard at my sail
I lean into the wind, let the whole world turn
Every little breath is a lesson learned
Clouds roll under like fields of snow
I’ve got nowhere else I need to go
You can keep your towers, your keys, your gold
I found a better kind of living to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the day gets heavy, I rise
With a grin wide open to the sky
[Chorus]
I’m flying, flying, feel the breeze on my face
Choir in my bloodstream, wide-open space
I’m loving this life, every color, every mile
Hands up to the heavens, wearing a reckless smile
We are alive, we are alive
Nothing can cage this heart tonight
[Verse 2]
Then I saw her standing where the bright clouds parted
Anime eyes like a dawn just started
Silver-blue hair lifting loose in the air
A fearless little smile saying, “Take me there”
She stepped beside me, laughed at the view
Said, “The world looks different when it’s brand new”
I reached for her hand, she pulled me close
Two wild hearts racing where the warm wind blows
[Fast Rap]
Quick feet, quick breath, sky high, no brakes
Life’s a full plate, take what it makes
Beat drops, heart knocks, never stay still
Climb past the doubt with a stubborn will
She’s got a spark and a dangerous grin
I’ve got a thousand bright reasons to begin
We spin through the blue, let the old rules fall
Love every second, I’m alive through it all
No fear, no pause, no looking below
Wherever she leads, that’s the way I go
[Chorus]
I’m flying, flying, feel the breeze on my face
Choir in my bloodstream, wide-open space
I’m loving this life, every color, every mile
Hands up to the heavens, wearing a reckless smile
We are alive, we are alive
Nothing can cage this heart tonight
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental: soaring electric-guitar lead over pounding rock drums, piano arpeggios, wordless choir swells]
[Bridge]
She kissed my cheek and the whole sky rang
Like every bright bell had a song to sang
No map, no promise, just pulse and trust
Two human hearts turning joy into dust
[Final Chorus]
We’re flying, flying, feel the breeze on our face
Choir in our bloodstream, wide-open space
We’re loving this life, every color, every mile
Hands up to the heavens, wearing a reckless smile
We are alive, we are alive
Nothing can cage these hearts tonight
[Outro]
Higher than sorrow, lighter than stone
With the whole wide sky, we are home
