Looking for a way
Maybe now, maybe in a day
Cause nothing gonna change
If we stay around here

We gotta do what it takes
Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes
But it's never too late to start again

Take another breath
And say another prayer

And fly away from here
Anywhere, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams
Are out there somewhere

We won't let them pass us by
We'll just fly

If this life, gets any harder now
Don't ever mind, you got me by your side
And any time you want
We can catch a train and find a better place
Cause we won't let nothing or no one keep getting us down

Maybe you and I
Should pack our bags and say goodbye

And fly away from here
Anywhere, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams
Are out there somewhere

We won't let times pass us by
We'll just fly

Do you see a bluer sky now
You could have a better life now
Open your eyes
No one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
