Lyrics

Short Version

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

Full Version


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

I used to think that all the clouds overhead
Followed me home and hovered over my bed
I'd lie awake and wish that someday soon I'd see a change
Yesterday's gone for good, tomorrow is soon
I've got a chance to make the best of my life
Every star in the night is a gift that I want
To keep the love alive for us.

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

I need a better way...
Yes, I have to start right here, right now
Throw away the old and bring the new
Toward me and you, yeah

I know we can build a higher ground
We will find it somehow, that love
And the light above
Guide us to a brighter day

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

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
