From the recording You Can Hear the Angels Sing
Lyrics
VERSE
When you’re feeling like you’ve lost your way
Like there’s nothing you can do or say
To turn your luck around
Rise up off the ground and take a new direction.
You gotta make yourself a brand new deal
Dream a dream until you make it real
Cut yourself some slack
Get your mojo back and just reject dejection.
CHORUS
Breaking the chains that bind you
Under skies so bright they can blind you
Sunny days, sunny days
And the wind behind you.
Fighting the fears that hound you
Cutting the ropes that ground you
Rise and fly, come on and seize the sky
Let the shine surround you.
VERSE
No one ever said that life was fair
Promised you you’d always get your share
You’ve heard the old cliche
You only make your play if you try, try, try.
Can you grab on to it?
That little dream that just won’t die
If you’re sold on it, don’t go cold on it
Climb aboard that little dream and just fly, fly, fly.
CHORUS
Breaking the chains that bind you
Under skies so bright they can blind you
Sunny days, sunny days
And the wind behind you.
Fighting the fears that hound you
Cutting the ropes that ground you
Rise and fly, come on and seize the sky
Let the shine surround you.
VERSE
Life is only gonna last so long
To get it right, you gotta do things wrong
You gotta lose to win, thicken up your skin
To be all you can be, be, be
Everybody’s somebody
Who can be more than you thought you could be
Having that faith in you is all you need to do
To break those chains and set yourself free, free, free.
