You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly

It's just like flying through the air
It's just like flying through the air
It's just like flying through the air

Ah you can make it if you dare
You live your life without a care
You know that love is everywhere

Now you wanna fly, reach the sky 
So come on, come on
I see the world you live, remain so big 
So come on, come on
Come on come on

You send your message through the air
Receive it loud and clear
You send your message through the air
Ah can you aim high to the sky
You never know unless you try,
Can you aim high to the sky

Now you wanna fly so reach the sky 
Come on, come on

I see the world you live, remain so big 
So come on, come on
Come on come on

You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You need to fly
You've got to fly
You need to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly

Love is all around you 
You know it all
And you see it all
So come on, come on

Now you wanna fly, reach the sky 
Come on, come on
I see the world you live, remain so big 
So come on, come on
Come on come on

You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly
You've got to fly

You need to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)

You need to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)
You've got to fly (Love is all)
