to begin something newAll we know is we aren’tgoing to make any movesThat would frighten these sweetlittle birds on our roofSo let’s begin a new songholding hands with the cloudsAnd the birds in our liveswant to sing right out loudSoft and scared like a dovein a cage for so longand you open the doorbut I’m not strongenoughTo fly on my owneven with your commandCause all my soft bonesmelt away in your handAnd you want to stay here alonebut I wait for your cueI’m not sure what it takesto start something newBut you want me to flyand I’m scared that I can’tYes you want me to tryand I’m holding your handHow you want me to trybut I want to be sureBecause once I leap forwardthere’s no net in the worldThat could feel like a wingthat knows what to doThere’s no net in the worldsoft enough to convince me to move

Like a plan like a planelike a cloud in the skyAnd I don’t mean to doubt youbut I know I can’t fly.(music)So if you want me to changeeverything that I’ve beenYou will have to be surethat I won’t be that againAll that’s heavy in meit comes out like a floodAll this pain in the worldI can feel in my bloodAnd all the hatred I seeI can feel in my eyesAnd all the ways we aren’t freeit takes over my lifeSo let me live in your veinsin your beautiful skinLet me hold you in wayslike I want to get inLet me love you like rainloves the ground that it seeksSoft and stillcome the floodSoaking under your feetAnd you witness my soullike a lighthouse in spaceAnd witness your heartlike a beautiful raceto the place where we startto begin something newto the place where we hold allthe things that are true

HeartsLike fire in our heartsthat lingers like a false alarmLike waves in the skythat don’t make sense to you and Ibut make sense to someOther way of thinkingOther way of beingSome other way of wonderingSome other way of wantingAll of these colorsThat blur the linesuntil we can’t find our wayBack to the place we left our hearts full of stars full of sandThis place we left our hearts with all these things not yet in our commandAnd we don’t want to be so damn afraid of everything anymore but we don’t know what else it’s all forWe do not knowWhat it’s all forWhat it’s all forWhat else it’s all for
