Thrown away my plans
Given up the fight
Stare towards the great outdoors
For any sign of light
Morning comes too soon
What to do till then?
Up and down the dead end town
And round and round again
Beaten by the dark
Face another night
Suddenly I clearly see
I’m shattered by the light
All around I hear the sound
Of orchestras of noise
Sky high, feeling sky high
Sky high, feeling sky high
Can’t explain what happened to
The clouded mood I’d grown into before today
Said all my goodbyes
Used up my excuses
Can I then begin again
And have my first success?
Sky high, feeling sky high
Sky high, reaching sky high
Everything that’s gone before
Was nothing to compare to what I see right now
Sky high, climbing sky high
Sky high, flying sky high
Everything that’s gone before
Was nothing to compare to what I
All that happened here before
No longer matters
Only to prepare me for
Whatever happens now
Sky high, feeling sky high
Sky high, reaching sky high
Sky high, climbing sky high
Sky high, flying sky high
Everything that’s gone before
Was nothing to compare to what I feel right now
