To the Moon and Back

I wish I could go, where no one would judge
I wish I could fly, go and do what I love
I need to search, I need to be free
I need adventure; to find my niche

I need to find my wings and the wind that carries them high
I need to soar up to the moon
I promise I’ll be home soon
To see you smile
To see you grow
I’ll be home soon

I need to search through every blade of grass
Find that four leaf clover
I need to find that needle, buried in the hay
I’ll search over and over.

I need to find my wings and the wind that carries them high
I need to soar up to the moon
I promise I’ll be home soon
To see you smile
To see you grow
I’ll be home soon

I feel like I am the little leopard
The one who lost his spots
I need to pin down a map of the world
And join up all the dots

I need to find my wings and the wind that carries them high
I need to soar up to the moon
I promise I’ll be home soon
To see you smile
To see you grow
I’ll be home soon

Of course I know I’ll miss you
And your smile that breaks my heart
But I can't go on living like I’m numb
It’s about time I made a start.
It’s about time I followed my heart

It’s about time I found my wings,
The power and the root of my drive
I need to explore all my options
It’s all that keeps me alive.

I need to find my wings and the wind that carries them high
I need to soar up to the moon
I promise I’ll be home soon
To see you smile
To see you grow
I’ll be home soon

To show you who I really am,
The wind that carries me high
I will take you up there too
I will show you all the moons
I will be home soon
