I was lost in a dream, I staggered and blinked in love’s silver haze I could see only you from day into night, and night back to day And then the fog, it lifted up, and everything grew clear And then I knew what must be done, and then the time drew near
Now I’m moving up where I belong And I’m through pretending I’m not strong Stepping out into the morning light The future never looked so bright
I was out of my head, cold and removed I'd gaze at the scene As I looked down at us I saw two of you with darkness between But now the chains that bound me tight have fallen off at last And I can walk, and I can run, and move beyond the past
Now I’m moving up where I belong And I’m through pretending I’m not strong Stepping out into the morning light The future never looked so bright
Spreading out my wings I learn to fly Soaring on my own across the sky I never knew how good it felt to be Just me, just me!
This is where I start, this is where I will begin Rising from the ash, now I emerge in fire and wind Flames like feathers grow, blossoming hot out from my skin Lifting off from earth a white hot star is born again
Now I’m moving up where I belong And I’m through pretending I’m not strong Stepping out into the morning light The future never looked so bright
Spreading out my wings I learn to fly Soaring on my own across the sky I never knew how good it felt to be Just me, just me!
