Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You gotta leave me now

You got to go alone

You gotta chase a dream

One that's all your own

Before it slips away

[Verse 2]

When you're flying high

Take my heart along

I'll be the harmony

To every lonely song

That you learn to play

[Verse 3]

When you're soaring through the air

I'll be your solid ground

Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there

When you come back down

When you come back down

[Verse 4]

I keep looking up

Awaiting your return

My greatest fear will be

That you will crash and burn

And I won't feel your fire

[Verse 5]

I'll be the other hand

That always holds a line

Connecting in between

Your sweet heart and mine

I'm strung out on that wire

[Verse 6]

And I'll be on the other end

To hear you when you call

Angel you were born to fly

And if you get too high

I'll catch you when you fall

Catch you when you fall

[Verse 7]

Your memory's the sunshine

Every new day brings

I know the sky is calling

Angel, let me help you with your wings

[Verse 8]

When you're soaring through the air

I'll be your solid ground

Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there

When you come back down

[Verse 9]

Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there

When you come back down

When you come back down
