E (022100@1)                  F#7 (242352@1)  
Soaring alone upon a threatening wind

Aadd9 (x02420@1)                    EJust (022100@1)fix your eyes on the horizon

F#7Cut (242352@1)off from everything you've known or have been

CHORUS:

Aadd9 (x02420@1)           EDon't (022100@1)look down, though your heart may be weary

Aadd9 (x02420@1)           EDon't (022100@1)look down, though your wings are on fire

Aadd9 (x02420@1)          EDon't (022100@1)look down, though the night may seem endless
       
         D (xx0232@1)                        Aadd9There's (x02420@1)a reason you're flying this fast and this far

D (xx0232@1)                             Aadd9 (x02420@1)              E (022100@1)May your faith be your strength and your love be your guiding star

Venturing further than the lenght of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginings
There is a gamble in each proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings

Circling and diving with this freedom you've found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place that we're bound
Love is the only thing that matters
