It’s easy to get lost in the recesses of your own head Scared to step into the light Preferring the familiar darkness instead

Don’t be afraid of the unknown Even when the path feels long The days will get better So start walking, and sing your own song

Take your best guess It's okay to be afraid Even when you don't know If anyone will come to your aid

Though you may want to quit you've still got to try Cos if you're too afraid to fall you'll never learn to fly

Oh, my sad friend I can see the dark in your eyes It's closing in again, isn't it? Cutting off the sun and blackening the skies. I hate to see you this way So downcast and forlorn No one else sees it, They neither weep nor mourn

I used to fear that I'd see nothing more That the light in you would die And you'd lose the fight and the war

Now I know there is more I see something in your eyes Not pain, not misery But an idea on the rise

You found your way out of the dark All you needed was a paper and pen So don't lose hope, my love For the light will shine again

Life gets hard, I get harder It’s tough, but it’s all I’ve got I’ll stick it through, pushing farther Living every day for me and my lot

Flying on the wings of hope I’ll look to the rising sun Ignore my doubts and woes Learning to have some fun

Some days it’s hard to get up On my mistakes I sometimes dwell But my heart won’t let me give up I know all will be well

Flying on the wings of hope Rising above the pain There’s no time to mope I’ve got to enjoy the rain

Flying on the wings of hope Remembering the people who care For them, for me, I’ll learn to cope And always stay in the air

Flying on the wings of hope
