Looks like the sun won't come out today
But the weather man said¹ there's no chance² of rain
Every once in a while³, you need to get away
It feels like voodoo dolls and prank⁴ calls every day

But I believe⁵ that we're meant to fly
And come with me, baby don't hide⁶
All your hopes⁷ and all your fears⁸
Are safe out here tonight
But I believe that we're meant to fly
So come on let's ride

Looks like the birds have stopped singing
The cold winds must have come and taken them
All you want is to sing out loud
And bring them back again
It's all detours⁹, red lights and dead¹⁰ ends

But I believe that we're meant to fly
And come with me, baby don't hide
All your hopes and all your fears
Are safe out here tonight
But I believe that we're meant to fly
So come...

I'll take you to a place that no one's ever been before
And hanging on too long the time has come to let go
You gotta let go, ya

But I believe that we're meant to fly
And come with me, baby don't hide
All your hopes and all your fears
Are safe out here tonight
But I believe that we're meant to fly
So come on let's ride
