Song Lyrics

Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
It’s time to shine!

You have spent your life confessing what was wrong inside
They left you second guessing how to close your mind
So you cry for redemption from all you thought
Until you wake up tomorrow just the way you were before

So what are you waiting for?
Your feet never leave the floor

You’re running round in circles like a tethered mare
But there is no exertion that will get you there
So you cry for exemption from all you’ve done
And try to shake off the sorrow over all that you’ve become

So what are you waiting for?
Your feet never leave the floor

We are looking out for a leader to believe in
For a watcher of the sky
Don’t want a pretender to deceive us
Or a demon in disguise
So if you can live through the shadow of our eyes
We’ll come to receive you because we need to
In a world that is born to fly

Hesitation has a strong design
But every good intention slowly fades with time
But you force hibernation is no retort
Because you wake up tomorrow just the way you were before

So what are you waiting for?
Your feet never leave the floor

We are looking out for a leader to believe in
For a watcher of the sky
Don’t want a pretender to deceive us
Or a demon in disguise
So if you can live through the shadow of our eyes
We’ll come to receive you because we need to
In a world that is born to fly

In a world watch it fly

Staring at the endless sky longing for the clouds to take you
Looking for a promised time hoping that it won’t forsaken you
There’s nothing you can do about the wasted years
The battle brought the mettle that makes you
You don’t need an angel to carry you here
And you don’t need a devil to break you

When all your reason and reference are taken away
And you believe in the perception that something must change
When all your credence and candour are put in their place
You’ll find the boldness to abandon the future you face

Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
It’s time to shine!

So what are you waiting for?
Your feet never leave the floor

We are looking out for a leader to believe in
For a watcher of the sky
Don’t want a pretender to deceive us
Or a demon in disguise
So if you can live through the shadow of our eyes
We’ll come to receive you because we need to
In a world that is born to fly

Don’t look down
It’s time to shine!
