One Day To Fly Lyrics

(elliott, english)

 

 Where does a dream belong

 Locked in the mind on the edge of time

 Like a ship lost in a storm

 How do we find the key

 Longing to see, through the artist's eye

 Maybe only birds can fly

 

 The man must be insane who knows

 A mind alive with images so strange

 So close but never rode the sky

 

 Watching the birds as they sail on the wind

 Trying to figure out the reason why

 Picturing wings held together with string

 One day to fly

 

 Someone said and i believe

 Try if you dare, you can walk on air

 A dream is all you need

 A circle that takes you high

 Lighter than air as the earth goes by

 Through a spiral in the sky

 

 The man must be insane who knows

 A mind alive with images so strange

 So close but never rode the sky

 

 Watching the birds as they sail on the wind

 Trying to figure out the reason why

 Picturing wings held together with string

 

 Just a charcoal sketch on canvas

 Made them laugh but now they see

 That the artist had a vision

 That the wind could set us free

 It's a bridge until tomarrow

 Taking us beyond the sun

 As the artist paints his picture

 The story's just begun

 

 Analyzing, criticizing

 Fear of the unknown

 Theorizing, visualizing

 The road to take us home

 If it takes forever

 Someone's gonna fly

 We may never get to heaven

 But still we're gonna try

 

 Watching the birds

 As they sail on the wind

 One day to fly
