 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've imagined faces of many lovers
To ease the pain of having no one
In my life 
And I'm tired of being undercover 
It's time to Navigate my feelings tonight

The sky is calm
The stars are bright.
What's better than to be in flight..
I'll relax my mind
And be at ease. 
And let this journey 
Set me free
Set me free 

I've oftened wondered how'd I I'll Spread my wings
And fly away (away)
To a place.. that I long for.
And my heart will be the pathway 
I'm searching for a love
That 's ever more 
Managed. 
Always searching, but, not finding a true heart 
What does it take to find me a lover 
I'm hoping that I don't' have to fly 
To far

Cause the sky is calm
The stars are bright 
And what's better than
To be in flight 
I'll relax my mind and be at ease.
And let this journey set me free
Set me free

I'll Spread my wings
And fly away 
To a place that I long for.
And my heart will be the pathway 
I'm searching for a love
That's ever more
