Outside looking in, wish I could show you where I've been
'Cause it's made me who I am and maybe make you understand
Full of hope and all this drive that you hold close
There's a burning fire inside, it's all that's keeping me afloat
I've got the place and time
Long shot but I aimed high
Don't let go distant to close, movin' on this winding road
Closed my eyes what do I see? the stars aligned in front of me
Set the sails, stay the course, no looking back just moving forward
Even though it's just a dream, it's out of hand, not out of reach
I chased the stars across the sea, dead tired and lost in make believe
Imagining who I'd be and what you see in me
I flew too closely to the sun, got burned and all my skin fell off
I hit the ground without a sound to rise back to my feet
I've got the place and time
Long shot but I aimed high
Don't let go distant to close, movin' on this winding road
Closed my eyes what do I see? the stars aligned in front of me
Set the sails, stay the course, no looking back just moving forward
Even though it's just a dream, it's out of hand, not out of reach
