You look up at the sky and you feel the weight of passing time, You find your feet and take your first flight, The world around you floats by in steady time.
Don't go astray, and come home one day, But don't forget to hold on tight, When you're taking your first flight.

You lived just over in the house on the corner, And we'd listen for the birds, meet in the morning, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
You'd walk up the road with a stick in your hand, Nothing to fear, nothing planned, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
We together like mountains and rivers, Like a leaf and a tree, an arrow and a quiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
We go together like moonlight and silver, And if you were the cold, I’d be the shiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
Can't go back to the world behind us, I'm not ready for the ghosts that’ll find us, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Living for today, not tomorrow, Paying forward the love that we borrow, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.

In my lifetime, I've seen summers go by, Frozen winters, shells adrift on the tide.
Taking hold of yourself when no one else will, I am always the last one to leave here, And although we can’t sleep, although we can't dream, Oh we'll live forever, We will live forever.
I will drift by like a moth to the flame, Journey onwards, ‘till I see you again.
