Ilse DeLange - Flying Solo Lyrics

`Cross the Bering strait
to a foreign land
I took to the sky just like I planned
Left my old life behind
there in the ice and snow
followed a rainbow to Mexico

Somewhere this side of lucky just shy of goin` down
there`s a pilot with her wings on fire
and she doesn`t even notice,
she got magic on her mind
`cause she`s flyin` solo for the first time

Chorus:
Flying solo
like an angel in the night
flyin` solo
across the great devide
I`ve been down so low, now I`m up so high
there ain`t nothin` short of dying
is gonna make me change my mind
flyin` solo, flyin` solo

Like a fallin` leaf
I fell down from your tree
chalk one up to prosperity
in search of warmer waters
I`m like a bird gone south
don`t know just what I`ll find
but I`m finding out

Now here I`m dancin` with the moon
spinning out of control
never be the same again
`cause there`s a place under the horizon
where it hardly ever rains
the sun is always shining
freedom is it`s name

- Chorus -

Around the world that`s where I`ll be
Amelia Earheart`s got nothin` on me

- Chorus -
