When you looked up
You never thought to wonder
And to the flame you'd flutter like you knew
You had no fear - the choice was clear and
The Heavens smiled down on you
Yer gonna blind us when you shine
And let it fly
Leave a plume in the clear blue sky
Let it fly - you don't even have to try
Yer gonna make it
Yer gonna make it alright
And then - the skies grew dark around you
And all the time you wished you were someone else
You lost yer way - you hoped and prayed still
Providence never found you
And you wait and you wait and you wait
And the days go by
Wanna let it fly
Leave a plume in the evening sky
Let it fly - you don't even have to try
Yer gonna make it
Yer gonna make it alright
And in the end, still dreamin' about that moment
And even then, it's still so hard defined
But don't forget - it's in yer head and
No one can take it from you
So relieved you can believe it one more time
So let it fly
Leave a plume in the midnight sky
Let it fly
Whatever you do, don't let it die
We gonna make it, we gonna make it alright
