IF TIME TAKES IT'S EYES OFF ME

MAN… I COULD DO ANYTHING

BUT SHOOTIN' STARS WITH HOPES AND DREAMS

JUST AIN'T THIS WORLD IT SEEMS.

​

CUZ TIME TAKES ITS TOLL ON ME

TELL'N ME I'M OUT OF MY MIND

I NEED TO FLY, CAN'T REACH THE SKY

TRIPPIN' ON MY STEPS, LEAVING EVERYTHING BEHIND

I NEED TO FLY.

​

DREAMERS, CAN DREAM UP ANYTHING

I COULD TELL YOU NOW, THAT IT'S JUST NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.

IF I ONLY HAD A MINUTE TO SPARE

I'D TELL YOU NOW SON, DON'T STOP THERE.

​

CUZ TIME WILL TAKE A TOLL ON YOU

TELLIN' YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE

BUT YOU NEED TO FLY, TAKING OVER THE SKY,

TAKE IT STEP BY STEP, LEAVING NOTHING BEHIND.

YOU NEED TO FLY, PUSHING TIME TO THE SIDE,

I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES, YOU'RE GONNA FLY.

​

I HOPE I CAN BE THERE, FOR YOU THAT DAY

IF TIME TRIES, TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY

JUST DON'T FORGET, I'LL BE WATCHING YOU

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

​

YOU NEED TO FLY, REACH FOR THE SKY

TAKE IT STEP BY STEP, ONE WORLD AT A TIME

YOU NEED TO FLY, PUSH TIME TO THE SIDE,

I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES, YOU'RE GONNA FLY.

​

YOU NEED TO FLY, DON’T ASK YOURSELF WHY.

DON’T WAIT ‘TILL TOMORROW COMES,

YOU’RE GONNA FLY.
