Got no wings, no magic carpet,
No net waiting to cradle me.
Just got one heart so I can't help it,
If I look twice before I leap.
I'm on the edge of something real:
Of knowing how forever feels.

I've been waiting all my life,
To see if love can make you fly.
Might find heaven an' kiss the sky:
It's a long way to fall.

Love can send your spirit soaring,
Like an angel, glory bound.
Take you high on that mountain,
Send you crashing to the ground.
But I'll never know,
Until I take that one last step of faith.

I've been waiting all my life,
To see if love can make you fly.
Might find heaven an' kiss the sky:
A long way to fall.

I felt so fearless in all of my dreams,
So maybe I'll just close my eyes,
And pray that the arms of love carry me high.

I've been waiting all my life,
To see if love can make you fly.
Might find heaven an' kiss the sky:
Long way,
It's a long, long way to fall.
