Lyrics

Original Version

Looking out at the sky, the clouds are pouring down
Locked myself up too long inside my mind
Been working hard, seems to never stop
I just need a break, somewhere I can go to relax
Where the sun always shines I'll go and never look back

Let's get away, get away
To a place where only happiness lives
And all the heartache fades away
You and I will fly up 'till we find what we're looking for
Let's get away, get away
To a place where there is water that's blue
And all the air is fresh and new
No one else but you and I to walk through that open door
It's time for the new day, let's get away

Living your life, through all the ups and downs
Trying to keep your feet on solid ground
Push comes to shove, and it's all you can take
It is time to get away

Full Version


Looking out at the sky, the clouds are pouring down
Locked myself up too long inside my mind
Been working hard, seems to never stop
I just need a break, somewhere I can go to relax
Where the sun always shines I'll go and never look back

Let's get away, get away
To a place where only happiness lives
And all the heartache fades away
You and I will fly up 'till we find what we're looking for
Let's get away, get away
To a place where there is water that's blue
And all the air is fresh and new
No one else but you and I to walk through that open door
It's time for the new day, let's get away

Sometimes it's hard to think with so much going on
This getting longer by day, I'm up all night
The rainbow's end is where it begins
I just need a break, somewhere I can go to relax
Where the sun always shines
Let's go and never look back

Let's get away, get away
To a place where only happiness lives
And all the heartache fades away
You and I will fly up 'till we find what we're looking for
Let's get away, get away
To a place where there is water that's blue
And all the air is fresh and new
No one else but you and I to walk through that open door
It's time for the new day, let's get away

Living your life, through all the ups and downs
Trying to keep your feet on solid ground
Push comes to shove, and it's all you can take
It is time to get away

Let's get away, get away
To a place where only happiness lives
And all the heartache fades away
You and I will fly up 'till we find what we're looking for
Let's get away, get away
To a place where there is water that's blue
And all the air is fresh and new
No one else but you and I to walk through that open door
It's time for the new day, let's get away

I say it's time now for a new day, let's get away
