Lyrics

I'm ready with my back to the wind
And I will fly higher than I ever have been
I'll follow all my dreams
My destiny is waiting for me
I am on my way
Heading for a sunny blue sky
And all my past worries, I will leave them behind
Now it is time for the beginning of a brighter day
It's a brighter day

There was a time when I was lost and alone
I couldn't find what I was wanting the most
Looking around for anybody else
To show the way

I wondered how the light could ever break through
When I had built the highest wall around me
Then I soon realized it was up to my heart
To spread my wings and fly again

So here I go, I have got my back to the wind
And I will fly higher than I ever have been
I'll follow all my dreams
My destiny is waiting for me
I am on my way
Heading for a sunny blue sky
And all my past worries, I will leave them behind
Now it is time for the beginning of a brighter day
It's a brighter day
