Flying Solo

(album: World Of Hurt - 1998)

'Cross the Bering strait
To a foreign land
I took to the sky just like I planned
Left my old life behind
There in the ice and snow
Followed a rainbow to Mexico

Somewhere this side of lucky just shy of going down
There's a pilot with her wings on fire
And she doesn't even notice,
She got magic on her mind
'Cause she's flying solo for the first time

Flying solo
Like an angel in the night
Flying solo
Across the great divide
I've been down so low, now I'm up so high
There ain't nothing short of dying
Is gonna make me change my mind
Flying solo, flying solo

Like a falling leaf
I fell down from your tree
Chalk one up to prosperity
In search of warmer waters
I'm like a bird gone south
Don't know just what I'll find
But I'm finding out

Now here I'm dancing with the moon
Spinning out of control
Never be the same again
'Cause there's a place under the horizon
Where it hardly ever rains
The sun is always shining
Freedom is it's name

Around the world that's where I'll be
Amelia Earheart's got nothing on me
