"When You Need To Fly"
Written by Scott CooleySometimes you get ideas that are different from the rest
It’s hard to trust your gut and put them to the test
When people wanna keep you down, don’t let them in
Don’t listen, don’t lose your vision, go for the win
When you need to fly, don’t keep things bottled up inside
You gotta set yourself free, and make your dreams reality
When you need to fly, you don’t need wings to reach the sky
You’ve got everything you need, don’t let them say you can’t succeed
The only thing you have to do is get out and try, when you need to fly
Sometimes in this world it may seem like you have no place
It’s hard to find a way to fit in and look life in the face
When you get cabin fever and you’ve got energy to burn
Don’t wait ‘till it’s too late to learn, just take your turn
When you need to fly, don’t keep things bottled up inside
You gotta set yourself free, and make your dreams reality
When you need to fly, you don’t need wings to reach the sky
You’ve got everything you need, don’t let them say you can’t succeed
The only thing you have to do is get out and try, when you need to fly
When you need to fly, leave all your worries behind
You know what’s right for you, and you know what you gotta do
When you need to fly, don’t second guess or wonder why
You gotta take that first step, and don’t forget to set your sights high
The only limit that you have is the sky, when you need to fly, when you need to fly
