Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. A one way ticket to ecstasy, Away on down, just follow me. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind. Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
