Lost in the city
I’m movin’ around
To the sound of the song
I’ve been…living

High altitudes mixed
With wrong attitudes
Make me wonder
Just what I’ve been…giving
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I belong

Ooh ooh
Love can open the door
Through these eyes I see
And love has opened this heart
For me

See you, I see you fly high
All above all of this
Makes me miss home
And the freedom

I’ve known for so long
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Ooh ooh
