Intro - |  D|  Bm|  D|  Bm| 
The Donly view You've ever had -
Is Bmfrom the inside out
FDaith keeps telling You there's more 
But BmYou believe in doubt
Well I Gguess nobody told You -
How beautiful You are
'cos the dAoor was always closed 
when You got too far
They GTricked You into thinking
Both Your wings are clipped 'n'
YDou ain't ever seeing the sAky
If GYou could see what I see
Maybe then You'd believe
The lDight You got will always rAise
'cos there's a gBmreat big world outside
Oh, aDint it time You fly ?
BmLife, it don't have to hAurt
You don't have to Gbe a cAaged bDird
|  Bm|
DYou don't have to carry
That wBmeight on Your wings 
And DYou don't have to silence
Every Bmsong You want to sing 
And You Gcan't even imagine
 How strong You are
'n' the Adays all look the same to You
'cos You aint ever seen the stars
They GTricked You into thinking
That both Your wings are clipped 'n'
YDou ain't ever seeing the sAky
If GYou could see what I see
Maybe then You'd believe
The lDight You got will always rAise
'cos there's a gBmreat big world outside
Oh, aDint it time You fly ?
