Lyrics

where does a dream belong, locked in the mind on the edge of time, like a ship lost in a storm, how do we find the key, longing to see, through the artist's eye, maybe only birds can fly, the man must be insane who knows, a mind alive with images so strange, so close but never rode the sky, watching the birds as they sail on the wind, trying to figure out the reason why, picturing wings held together with string, one day to fly, someone said and i believe, try if you dare, you can walk on air, a dream is all you need, a circle that takes you high, lighter than air as the earth goes by, through a spiral in the sky, the man must be insane who knows, a mind alive with images so strange, so close but never rode the sky, watching the birds as they sail on the wind, trying to figure out the reason why, picturing wings held together with string, just a charcoal sketch on canvas, made them laugh but now they see, that the artist had a vision, that the wind could set us free, it's a bridge until tomorrow, taking us beyond the sun, as the artist paints his picture, the story's just begun, analyzing, criticizing, fear of the unknown, theorizing, visualizing, the road to take us home, if it takes forever, someone's gonna fly, we may never get to heaven, but still we're gonna try, watching the birds, as they sail on the wind, one day to fly
