Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't know why
I knew I could fly
I knew I could fly
[Verse 2]
You see what you see
You think you see me
You think you see me
You think you see me
[Verse 3]
I follow the stars
I carry my scars
I carry my scars
[Verse 4]
I know what I hear
I won't live in fear
I won't live in fear
I won't live in fear
[Verse 5]
I sit by the stream
I'm counting my dreams
I'm counting my dreams
[Verse 6]
My face to the sun
My battle half-won
My battle half-won
My battle half-won
My battle half-won
