about

Once, I was young and optimistic, and, I think, less misguided. Those were some good times. D-A-D-G-A-D.

lyrics

The wheel's gonna spin
When you least expect it to, it turns again
When coincidences start to reel in
And we understand the position that we're in

I know I'm gonna fly
When the wind comes up behind me, takes me high
And there's little time to hang my head and cry
Turn around or hesitate or wonder why - oh
I passed by all the signs before
Couldn't tell a brick wall
From an open door
But one sweet day, I'm gonna shine
Pick up my pieces, gonna
Take what's mine

We're gonna be there
When this magic carpet ride has reached its peak
When the words we have, we do not need to speak
'Cause the beauty all around us is complete

Birds gonna fly
All around us through a diamond-studded sky
With feathers made of gold, don't ask me why
From mountaintops down to the shining sea

People gonna say
That they knew we were immortal anyway
That one day we'd get up and fly away
And live for ever more so far away

We're gonna be fine
Where the water's pure
And the air's like sweet red wine
In a distant land I know I saw the sign
No accident, just purely by design

I know I'm gonna fly
When the wind comes up behind me, takes me high
And there's little time to hang my head and cry
Turn around or hesitate or wonder why - oh
I passed by all the signs before
Couldn't tell a brick wall
From an open door
But one sweet day, I'm gonna shine
Pick up my pieces, gonna
Take what's mine
