about

Sometimes you just have to be braver and bolder than usual to avoid slipping backwards.

lyrics

Fly Closer To The Sun

You’ve cramped your style for all these years, you just shrugged and let it go
Self sabotage and reptile tears kept you to the things you know
Now the clock is running down, you have to face the battles won
Give your dreams the space to breathe, you must fly closer to the sun

Conforming mornings held you down, grimaced greetings kept you straight
Each time you made it into town, the early shift would make you late
Now it’s seen for what it is, the things to cherish and to shun
Leave behind the fear of loss, and then fly closer to the sun

There were days when I believed I’d time to spare and more or less
I’d spend it all or save it up without concern for recklessness
Now I see the line of time, see the road I’m travelling on
Now I have to make a choice then fly closer to the sun

What’s the point of looking back, sifting through the pain that’s past?
It’s not that it brings no dismay, but then is slow and now is fast
I have to see a difference made, see a change in everyone
A forward movement’s all it takes, you can’t fly backwards to the sun
I have to see a difference made, see a change in everyone
A forward movement’s all it takes, you can’t fly backwards to the sun
