You can’t speak to me but I can see it in your eyes you understand exactly how I feel.
Nothing you could tell me would come as a surprise I know your heart so beautiful and real.
We run, the world blurs into streams of coloured light, our troubles fall behind and disappear.
You're with me in my dreams, it feels so true and right, anything can happen when you’re near.
When I’m with you, I’m strong and free but I know there’s more I’m supposed to be.
I don’t know how and I don’t know why, but you give me wings and with wings I can fly.
Sometimes I get restless and I think I’ve lost my mind. I don’t know what I’m trying so hard to do.
But no matter what fete brings us I know I’m going to find, we can handle it together me and you.
When I’m with you I’m strong and free, I know we’ll find our destiny.
Come with me and we’ll claim the skies, because you give me wings and with wings I can fly!
