Would be sure to set you spinnin' with you feet never touchin' the ground - And I'm round and round and round and round and round and round and round
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Been dreaming of this since a child - I'm on top of the world
We're higher than the sun - And nothing's gonna change the way I'm feeling now
I was hoping for an indication, I was seeking higher elevation
The sweetest song is silence that I've ever heard - Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth
Your sky is full of dreams - But you don’t know how to fly
Gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down. Now my feet won’t touch the ground
