It's a dream of worlds in motion
And another place and time
I guess I'm feeling lost 
In the home I thought was mine

It's a universal notion
Life is just a battlefield
Open your heart for someone
Nothing is revealed

Fly away, you can leave it all behind you
I'm on my way to find you
And I'll soon be flying too
Fly away, we can fly away together
I'm talking 'bout forever
This is all we gotta do
Fly away

It's a tangled up emotion
Will you stay or will you go
I am the one to count on
If only you could know

Fly away, you can leave it all behind you
I'm on my way to find you
And I'll soon be flying too
Fly away, we can fly away together
I'm talking 'bout forever
This is all we gotta do
Fly away
