Fly – Hilary Duff – Lyrics
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute, all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing
And take control?
[Chorus]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can’t in life
And start to try
Cause it’s your time
Time to fly
All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something, when there’s nothing left
And the world’s feeling hollow
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing
And take control?
[Chorus]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can’t in life
And start to try
Cause it’s your time
Time to fly
And when you’re down and feel alone
Just wanna run away
Trust yourself and don’t give up
You know you better than anyone else
In a moment, everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute, all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
[Chorus]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can’t in life
And start to try
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can’t in life
And start to try
Cause it’s your time
Time to fly
In a moment, everything can change
