Inevitability Is pounding at my door Screaming for more In a world that owes you nothing You give everything Everything Now I'm caught in between What I can't leave behind And what I may never find So fly one time Fly one time Standing At the edge of your life At the edge of our lives Don't hold on, there's no fighting back the years It's so hard to unlearn fears Now that you're caught between What you can't leave behind And all that you may never find So fly, just fly Just fly one time I see you so clearly, so clearly up so high I see you up so clearly, up so clearly high Now you're caught in between What you can't leave behind And what we may never find So fly, so fly one time So clearly, so clearly So high, fly one time Just fly one time If you'd fly one time
