Lyrics

[00:19.81] I've learned quite a lot
[00:23.09]
[00:24.72] Shooting through my mind
[00:27.38]
[00:29.11] Things I never guessed at before
[00:36.05]
[00:37.59] So I decided
[00:40.39]
[00:41.16] To leave my old life behind
[00:44.53]
[00:47.43] I don't need it anymore
[00:51.51]
[00:54.69] I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
[00:57.50]
[00:58.93] I'm gonna learn to fight the wind
[01:02.16]
[01:02.84] I won't stop 'til I've understood the dark
[01:07.98]
[01:11.81] I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds
[01:15.62] I'm gonna understand the air
[01:19.86] My mind will listen to the stars
[01:26.02]
[01:46.14] To everyone else I appear quite the same
[01:53.73]
[01:56.61] And I help them as much as I can
[02:03.32] But they'll never know that my mind is in the air
[02:11.66]
[02:12.17] O how could they ever understand
[02:17.54]
[02:21.43] I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
[02:24.66]
[02:25.22] I'm gonna pull upon the rain
[02:28.89]
[02:29.40] I'll learn what lies beneath the earth
[02:35.41]
[02:38.64] I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
[02:42.33] I'm gonna understand the space
[02:46.11]
[02:46.69] I'll even go back beyond birth
[02:53.45]
