Top of the World Lyrics by Alice Wallace

Into the Blue

2019

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I climb to the top of the world
The air gets thin, my lungs start to burn
But up here it's so clear I can see the Earth curve
And I don't even mind I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
I can see eye-to-eye with the birds as they glide
On pockets of air that rise like the tide
But I know I can't go with them, hard as they try
To convince me I can float on the breeze
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a long way down
When you were born without wings
I'm happy on the ground
But sometimes it's nice to pretend
I'm flying
I'm flying
[Verse 3]
The wind rushes past and whispers my name
It coos and it murmurs of fortune and fame
Well it tempts me and taunts me as if it's a game
And everyone knows I can't win
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a long way down
When you were born without wings
I'm happy on the ground
But sometimes it's nice to pretend
I'm flying
I'm flying
[Bridge]
Well so what if I'm not meant to be chasing the wind?
I'll still do it again and again
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a long way down
When you were born without wings
I'm happy on the ground
But sometimes it's nice to pretend
I'm flying
I'm flying
