Lyrics
I feel the shadow of your wings beginning to spread
In the winds of change we're perched on tomorrow's edge
I wish you didn't need to go sometimes I wish we didn't have to grow
So don't be leavin' without a long goodbye
And don't stop believin' you can fly
Don't look back
Keep your eyes on horizons
Don't look back
Make your dreams your will
Don't look back
Mountains are for climbin'
Don't look back until you arrive
I practiced all the things to say but I've forgotten every line
My heart is with you night and day surrendered to the grand design
This painted smile is not a show it's cover for a gaping hole
So don't you be leavin' without a long goodbye
And don't stop believin' you can fly
Don't look back
Keep your eyes on horizons
Don't look back
Make your dreams your will
Don't look back
Mountains are for climbin'
Don't look back until you arrive
You'll arrive
