I've been watching the clock on the wall
I've been sitting around waiting for the fall
I've been looking at days going by
Taking memories out and leaving them to dry
But I am stunned by the sudden appearance of you
By the dream that could never come true
By what I have turned into
I've got my wings strapped on tight
I've got my face towards the light
I've got you in my sight
And I'm set to fly
I had nothing and nothing had me
I was far from land adrift and lost at sea
Time was slowly slipping away
And I was perfectly fine to let it be that way
But my breath caught the moment I looked in your eyes
And the feeling of sudden surprise
When I finally realized
I've got my wings strapped on tight
I've got my face towards the light
I've got you in my sight
And I'm set to fly
Love's been a long time coming
And so many times before I lost my faith
But I finally let the light in
And at last I look ahead and see my way
I've got my wings strapped on tight
I've got my face towards the light
I've got you in my sight
And I'm set to fly
