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 dreammy 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 go on
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, a clear blue sky
CHORUS
Bridge: Hold back salty tears, broken wings and hopeless fears
look 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)
