Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've waited for this moment
All my life and more
And now, I see so clearly
What I could not see before
The time is now or never
And this chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself into the wind
[Chorus]
There's no promise of safety
With these second hand wings
But I'm willing to find out
What impossible means
A leap of faith
[Verse 2]
Parody of an angel
Miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason
Screaming after me
"You've flown far too high, boy
Now you're too close to the sun
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
[Verse 3]
But how will I know limits from lies
If I never try?
[Chorus]
There's no promise of safety
With these second hand wings
But I'm willing to find out
What impossible means
Climb through the heavens
On feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax
Means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Nothing to me
[Bridge]
I will touch the sun
Or I will die trying
Die trying
[Chorus]
Fly on these secondhand wings
Willing to find out
What impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens
On feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax
Means nothing to me
Nothin' to me
[Outro]
It means nothing to me
Miles above the sea
