I hear your voice But it can't bring me back I'm dreaming of all the things I ever thought I had I'm pushing down I'm diving deep Yeah slow dive to my dream I'm feeling good, yeah I'm feeling free Slow dive, you can't touch me now I close my eyes And let the ground slip From my mind I'm falling now I'm diving now I'm gliding in the sky Graceful birds will whisper As I sadly pass them by He's feeling good, yeah He's feeling free Slow dive, you can't touch me now
