Soaring alone upon a threatening wind

Just fix your eyes on the horizon

Cut off from everything

You've known or have been

I shouldn't think it's so surprisin'

Spiraling upward on a freshening lift 

Reaching the realms of fleet Apollo

You have been given the most sacred of gifts

You must be fearless now and follow

Don't look down

Though your heart may be weary

Don't look down

Though your wings are on fire

Don't look down

Though the night may seem endless

There's a reason you're flying

This fast and this far

Let your faith be your strength

And your love be your guiding star

Venturing further than

The length of your sight

Out past the reach of your beginnings

There is a gamble in each

Proud act of flight

But the losses pale before the winnings

Circling and diving with this

Freedom you've found

Illusion blows apart and scatters

There is no darkness in this place

That we're bound

Love is the only thing that matters
