Underneath the flight path is my childhood home
Where I’d see the morning jets take flight
Taking people places I had never known
And I’d watch them as they disappeared from sight
I had never ventured out of my hometown
Never thought to take off in blink
But I’d see those morning jets head out of town
I would watch them and it made me start to think
Just what distant lands had I yet to explore?
And the more I wondered I just kept wanting more
What I couldn’t see
Was a land that’s free
To take a chance, to spread my wings and fly
Father was a product of the working class
And the work got harder year to year
I would see the dreams he had begin to pass
Until they’d all-together disappear
Mother said that when your dreams don’t go as planned
That it must be just an act of fate
And to always trust that there’s higher plan
To take breath, to hold your tongue and wait
I would not have been born with this fire inside
If it was only in me to suppress and to hide
Cause a fire roars
And an eagle soars
And a girl like me must spread her wings and fly
They say don’t be disappointed
If you end up in the heap
Cause a wiser man once said that you must look before you leap
But I’m looking for adventures that you can’t find in a book
And I don’t think that they realize you must leap
Before you look
So I bought my ticket to a distant land
To a far off world I’ve yet to see
But I have this extra ticket in my hand
And I’m asking you to run away with me
Yes I know it’s crazy, but this old hometown
It has nothing left to offer you
You’ve been treading water trying not to drown
And I think that all this time you always knew
Now’s our chance to leave all that’s ever been bad
Chasing after dreams that my folks never had
Cause we have a voice
And we’ve got the choice
So as for me, at least I gotta try
