Lyrics

Do you always conceal
What you feel inside
Man does not ever drift
With the flow of the tide
Makes it hard to see
When it attracts you and me
And there comes a time
When your feelings should run free
And understand best your own command
When you're down to the wire
It'll lend you a helping hand
When the tide starts to tire
Takes you high in the sky
Of your heart's desire
Float through the valley of love
You'll start to fly
Like a bird in the sky
Who's just learned to fly
Makes you feel so proud
You might want to cry
Shed a tear of delight
Don't you worry about a fall tonight
Birds flying free
What about you and me
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you'll be
Search the sky for new horizons to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
Wear your pride by your side
When we're looking on
Keep your head to the sky
Through the weather of the storm
Take the compliment
As if it came heaven-sent
From someone up above
With music, with love
What's the nature of your mind
When the trouble starts to grind
Do you leave yourself behind
Not to be caught up on the line
Signs of life is a lot to see
That you hold in, yearning to be free
Free your time, what about your mind
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you'll be
Search the sky for new horizons to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
You will find further on down the line
Is what you've got to do, to see you through
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you'll be
Search the sky for new horizons to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you'll be
Search the sky for new horizons to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
