Lyrics

Leaving My Old Life Behind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I learned quite a lot

Shooting through my mind

Things I never guessed at before

And so I decided

To leave my old life behind

I don't need it anymore

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds

I'm gonna learn to climb the wind

I wont stop til Ive understood the dark

I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds

I'm gonna understand the air

My mind will listen to the stars

To everyone else I appear quite the same

And I help them as much as I can

But they'll never know that my mind is in the air

O how could they ever understand

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds

I'm gonna pull upon the rain

I'll learn what lies beneath the earth

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds

I'm gonna understand the space

I'll even go back beyond birth
