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
