I watch time fly away
But I believe in yesterday
Oh, take these golden wings from me
I don't need them to be free
To be free

If I could travel back in time
I'd find a place that's mine
A day forever warm
In the eye of the storm
Of the storm

Clip my wings cause I won't fly away
This is my time to stay
I don't even think of yesterday
Tomorrow's here today
If things seem out of place
I can put them back where they belong
I've learnt tidiness and discipline
I've fought this war too long

I've gone too far around the bend
To find myself a friend
Oh, take these empty words from me
I don't need them to be free
To be free

Clip my wings cause I won't fly away
This is my time to stay
I don't even think of yesterday
Tomorrow's here today
If things seem out of place
I can put them back where they belong
I've learnt tidiness and discipline
I've fought this war too long
