[Intro] [Verse 1] At dawn I stand upon the stone And feel the restless wind alone The open blue is calling me To learn what these young wings can be I watch the masters ride the air They climb beyond the mountains there Their silent flight becomes my dream But dreams are not as hard as they seem [Pre-Chorus] My heart is beating like a drum The hour has come, the hour has come I spread my wings against the breeze And leave the safety of the trees [Chorus] Beyond the open sky I have to learn to fly Beyond the clouds so high I will discover why These wings were made for more Than skies I've known before Beyond the open sky I'll find how far I can fly [Interlude] [Verse 2] The rising wind becomes a wall It shakes my wings, I start to fall The earth comes rushing up below And fear begins to tell me no I fight the current, lose my height Then catch a warmer stream of light One trembling wing, one breath, one try And suddenly I'm climbing high [Pre-Chorus] The storm can test the strength I own But every wingbeat is my own I will not turn, I will not hide I'll meet the wind and learn to ride [Chorus] Beyond the open sky I have to learn to fly Beyond the clouds so high I will discover why These wings were made for more Than skies I've known before Beyond the open sky I'll find how far I can fly [Bridge] I thought that strength meant never falling Never doubting, never stalling Now I know the truth at last Strength is rising when you've crashed The wind that once could make me fear Now tells me that my path is here No borrowed wings, no borrowed flame I rise by knowing my own name [Final Chorus] Beyond the open sky I spread my wings and rise Beyond the clouds so high I leave my fear behind The world is growing small But I can face it all Beyond the open sky I'll learn how far I can fly [Final Chorus] Beyond the open sky I chase the morning light Beyond the clouds so high My wings are learning flight I am no longer bound By limits on the ground Beyond the open sky My future waits in flight [Finale]
