There's somethin' underneath my skin

And throw away the older me

Flyin' in the sky with you, today, yeah

I wanna do it soon and fly away, yeah, away

So tired of always crawlin' up the tree

To fall back down again

This lovely place where I began

Up so before you sum up all

The missin' pieces from my head

Your wind is underneath my wing

It carries me away

When I'm on my way, change a little every day
