Give Our Dreams Their Wings To Fly
Tim McMorris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking down the sidewalk, kickin' my feet
As I'm movin' to the music, step to the beat
I woke up today, canceled all my plans
And I stepped right outside with my guitar in my hands

And the notes became alive as the sound caressed the air
And I kicked it up a notch as I strolled without a care
'Cause I'm going down the road to a brand new place
And I'll get there with a smile on my face, yeah

So lift me up, I'm moving on
Singin' and dancin' while I play my song
Yeah, I'm having a good time, keepin' it going
Come on and clap your hands, and won't you sing along?

And now let's take it up high, high, high
Give our dreams their wings to fly
You've gotta keep the fire, to keep the fire burnin'
Keep the hope alive, you gotta keep it turning

Feel the music from your head, to your toes, to your shoes
Kick 'em off and take a deep breath, and shake off the blues
This is a brand new day, that you can pave the way
Because everything is possible, shout and say, "Hey, hey"

I got it goin', I got it going on and
Keep on pushin' up, and I'll march and move along and
Good things all around now that I can see
And they said it wouldn't happen to me, yeah, yeah

So take your hands and throw 'em up, yeah, put 'em up high
And clap it up and dance it out 'til your ready to fly
Turn the music, turn it up, just a little too loud
If you're alone, dance just like there's a crowd

And keep it goin' every day, every day 'til the night
From when you first see the sun, until the stars show their light
No, not a care in the world, not a worry for me
I tell ya this is what it's like to be free

So lift me up, I'm moving on
Singin' and dancin' while I play my song
Yeah, I'm having a good time, keepin' it going
Come on and clap your hands, and won't you sing along?

And now let's take it up high, high, high
Give our dreams their wings to fly
You've gotta keep the fire, and keep the fire burnin'
Keep the hope alive, you gotta keep it turning, yeah

Lift me up, I'm moving on
Singin' and dancin' while I play my song
Yeah, I'm having a good time, keepin' it going
Come on and clap your hands, and won't you sing along?

And now let's take it up high, high, high
Give our dreams their wings to fly




You gotta keep the fire, and keep the fire burnin'
Keep the hope alive, you gotta keep it turning
