Flight
Megan McGinnis & Sutton Foster Lyrics

Let me run through a field in the night
I want to experience the freedom of running through a field in the dark

Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight
I want to feel weightless and free from the burdens of the earth

Let me sway like the shade of a tree
I want to move with grace and elegance like a tree in the wind

Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea
I want to move freely and unpredictably like a cloud in a stormy sea

Wish me on my way
Please give me your support and encouragement

Through the dawning day I, Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill, Wanna grow, wanna grow, On the side of a hill
I want to live my life with purpose and passion, constantly growing and learning along the way

I don't care if the train runs late, If the checks won't clear, If the house blows down.
I am willing to face adversity and challenges in pursuit of my dreams

I'll be off where the weeds run wild, Where the seeds fall far from this, Earthbound town.
I want to explore new and exciting places, far from the mundane routine of everyday life

And I'll start to soar! Watch me rain til I pour out!
I will take off and fly towards my dreams with confidence and determination

I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray, Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obbey time
I am willing to take risks and let the winds of fate guide me

Time flying away! Flight! Ah Ah Ah
I am aware of the fleeting nature of time and want to make the most of every moment

Let me leave behind All the clouds in my mind
I want to let go of my worries and anxieties and be free from mental burdens

I Wanna wake without wondering why, Finding myself for a burst for the sky! Flight! Flight!
I want to wake up each day with purpose and drive, ready to take on new challenges

I'll just roll! Let me lose all control
I want to let go of inhibitions and live spontaneously

I Wanna float like a wish in a well, Free as the sound of the sea in a shell
I want to feel weightless and unconstrained, free to explore and experience life

I don't know But maybe I'm just a fool, I should keep to the ground, I should stay where I'm at
I am aware that my dreams may seem foolish to others, but I am determined to pursue them

Maybe everyone has hunger like this, And the hunger will pass But I can't think like that
I acknowledge that others may have similar dreams, but I cannot let the fear of failure hold me back

All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere) There's a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide And I have such a river inside!
I have a deep thirst for exploration and adventure, fueled by an inner sense of purpose

Wanna shift like a wave going on, Wanna drift from the path, I've been traveling upon, Before I am gone.
I want to be open to new experiences and change, breaking free from the constraints of routine and habit
