A performer since the age of seven (the age at which he joined the Broadway cast of Annie Get Your Gun), Nicholas made his songwriting debut in 2002, when a holiday tune he'd co-written with his father found its way onto a Broadway Christmas album. A contract with Columbia Records followed two years later. Nicholas began prepping for his solo career by writing material with his older brothers, Kevin and Joseph, who eventually climbed aboard as permanent partners. Nick's solo project thus blossomed into a full-fledged band, and the siblings aptly named themselves the Jonas Brothers.
It took several years for the Jonas Brothers to find an adoring audience. It's About Time, the band's 2006 debut, was a commercial flop, and Columbia Records dropped the group one year later. Signing with Hollywood Records in 2007, the band began attracting new fans -- most of them young and female -- by establishing a presence in the Disney world. They appeared on the network's television shows, earned their own series, starred in a made-for-TV movie with Disney starlet Demi Lovato, and sold close to two million copies of their self-titled sophomore album. They replicated that feat one year later with A Little Bit Longer and returned in 2009 with Lines, Vines and Trying Times. All of the albums featured heavy contributions from Nick, who not only led the songwriting process but also played a wide variety of instruments, from drums to keyboard to guitar.
Taking a rare break from the band, Nick Jonas began working with several other musicians on a side project in late 2009. Members from Prince's New Power Generation were recruited to join the lineup, including Michael Bland and Tommy Barbarella, and the group dubbed itself Nick Jonas & the Administration before making its debut in early 2010 with the album Who I Am. The record performed respectably, peaking at three on the U.S. charts on its way to sales of 151,000, but there were soon suggestions that Nick was planning to return to the Jonas Brothers fold. This didn't happen. A 2013 tour was scrapped just prior to its October launch and, soon afterward, the band split. Nick Jonas regrouped with a 2014 solo tour followed by the November release of an eponymous album. Over the course of 2014, Jonas gained momentum, generating the Top 10 single "Jealous," which also topped Billboard's dance charts, as did "Chains " and "Levels," a bonus track from 2015's Nick Jonas X2.
In the Summer of 2016, Jonas returned with a new full-length effort, Last Year Was Complicated, featuring production by Jason Evigan, Mattman & Robin, Sir Nolan, and others. Included on the album was "Close," a duet with Tove Lo, and "Bacon," featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Also around this time, Jonas returned to acting, starring in the erotic thriller Careful What You Wish For and the fraternity hazing drama Goat. In 2017, he released the singles "Remember I Told You," featuring Anne-Marie and Mike Posner, and "Find You." Also that year, he collaborated with Nicki Minaj on the track "Bom Bidi Bom" off the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
Time For Me To Fly
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been losing my mind
I've been running races
Still don't know what I've been chasing
But my eyes that can see
Bluer skies that wait for me
And I'm on my way
Time for me to fly
Time for me to soar
Time for me to open up my heart
And knock on Heavens door
Time for me to live
It?s time for me to sing
Time for me to lay down all my worries
And I?ll spread my wings
Time for me to fly
The earth can be a heavy ride
When those clouds have been your eyes
But I feel a calling
I will rise, I won't be falling
And I?ll escape the gravity
And I?ll reach my destiny
And I?ll fly away
It's time for me to fly
Time for me to soar
Time for me to open up my heart
And knock on Heavens door
Time for me to live
It?s time for me to sing
Time for me to lay down all my worries
And I?ll spread my wings
Time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
The gates of heaven will open wide
I will be, I will rise
There won't be compromise
As I take to the open skies
One, two, three, four
Time for me to fly
Time for me to soar
Time for me to open up my heart
And knock on Heavens door
Time for me to live
It?s time for me to sing
Time for me to lay down all my worries
And I?ll spread my wings
I will fly away, I will fly away
I will fly away, I will fly away
I will fly away, I will fly away
It's time for me to fly
Time for me to soar
Time for me to open up my heart
And knock on Heavens door
Time for me to live
It?s time for me to sing
Time for me to lay down all my worries
And I?ll spread my wings
Time for me to fly

I've been wasting my time
I have been using my time in an unproductive way
I've been losing my mind
I have been confused and overwhelmed
I've been running races
I have been busy chasing goals
Still don't know what I've been chasing
Despite my efforts, I am still unsure of my purpose
But my eyes that can see
I have the ability to see clearly now
Bluer skies that wait for me
Better days are ahead for me
And I'm on my way
I am leaving my past behind and embarking on a journey
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to move forward with my life
Time for me to soar
Time for me to reach new heights

When those clouds have been your eyes
When you've been blinded by troubles
But I feel a calling
But I feel like there is something beckoning me to a brighter future
I will rise, I won't be falling
I will not let anything stop me from achieving my goals
And I?ll escape the gravity
And I'll leave behind the things that have been weighing me down
And I?ll reach my destiny
And I'll arrive where I'm supposed to be
And I?ll fly away
And I'll leave my old life behind
The gates of heaven will open wide
The future is looking bright for me
I will be, I will rise
I will be successful and rise above my challenges
There won't be compromise
I won't have to compromise my values or goals
As I take to the open skies
As I embrace my new life and all its possibilities
One, two, three, four
Counting down, getting ready for the next phase of life
I will fly away
I will leave my old problems behind
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to start a new chapter
I will fly away
I will leave my problems behind and start a new journey

it's so nice... his voice you won't think that he has a high voice though he is still young he has a range of a girl's voice in this album but it's kinda like a girl's voice with a quality of a boy's voice he's a talent! God has made such a beautiful voice and creation. i also liked Dear God, but so far of the 4 songs in this album that i've seen, this is the best i also love as in LOVED the lyrics it's all so nice thank you for posting this video... would you be my friend? thanks =-)
