Another year has gone and life has passed me by, so it seems
I'm still on my own fighting to survive
Time and again the sword beats the pen
They said it before, now I hear it again
I can hear them cry:
Don't fly too high
The sun will shine too hot upon your wings
Don't fly too high cause life will deny ya
And knock you off o' your wings
Off your wings
And so we live our lives in constant compromise
We tell ourselves only fools gaze at stars
But words that seem wise so often hold lies
Don't hold yourself back, reach for the sky
And let the cynics cry
Don't fly too high
The sun will shine too hot upon your wings
Don't fly too high cause life will deny ya
And knock you off o' your wings
But there's another side, one they always hide
I feel it burning inside
Don't fly too low cause the sea breeze will blow
And dampen your wings 'til you fall
Til you fall
Another year has gone and life has passed me by, so it seems
I'm still on my own, I
Don't fly too high
The sun will shine too hot upon your wings
Don't fly too high cause life will deny ya
And knock you off o' your wings
But there's another side, one they always hide
I feel it burning inside
Don't fly too low cause the sea breeze will blow
And dampen your wings 'til you fall
'til you fall
