Lyrics

Has something been holding me back all this time
Like an invisible force, or is it my own mind
Too bad
To Sad
If I think too hard, it makes me mad

You can’t stop me now, flying away, flying away
Words can’t bring me down, not today, not today
Nothings gonna change my mind
Cause I know
Leaving everything I did behind
Oh, Oh, Oh

Has someone been controlling your strings all this time
An invisible hand, an intention by design ?
To real
We squeal
Like a hamster run along on its wheel

You can’t stop me now, flying away, flying away
Words can’t bring me down, not today, not today
Nothings gonna change my mind
Cause I know
Leaving everything I did behind
Oh, Oh, Oh

They gonna try tell you no,
No, no, no, no
What the hell would they know
Know, know, know, know

You can’t stop me now, flying away, flying away
Words can’t bring me down, not today, not today
Nothings gonna change my mind
Cause I know
Leaving everything I did behind
Oh, Oh, Oh
