Lyrics

IF YOU DON'T FLY
(Written by Gail Vareilles / Tommy Faragher / Eddy Martinez)

Here I linger on the threshold
of every dream I've ever known
wrestling my feet from the sand
hoping to have your hand to hold
to share my life my dream
my journey of peace my struggle for joy

There's a flight I want to take together
unclip your wings, unearth your feet
and then go on, go on and
take a huge leap of faith
chances like this don't come around everyday
can't you see what you are trying to throw away
if you don't fly
if you don't fly

There's a lapse in your life
That you know you have not seen the last of
Refer to it as freedom
It's so hard to refuse it
When it's offering a wing
And a clear blue sky

If you don't fly
chances like this don't come around everyday
can't you see what you're trying to throw away
take a huge leap of faith
then go on and on and on and on and on and on

hold those salty tears and broken wings and hopeless fears
looking down from above
like newborn angels on the run

If you don't fly
Chances like this don't come around every day
If you don't fly
Can't you see what you're trying to throw away
If you don't fly
Take a huge leap of faith
If you don't fly
Then go on and on and on and on and on and on
If you don't fly (3X)
Can't you see what you're trying to throw away
If you don't fly (2X)
