When you hear the heartbeat of the dawn
This way, call my name
I’m coming to get you, so just wait a little while, please
I don’t need anything else; in my pocket,
I’ll just bring this one thing: Love.
Let’s go, let’s go on a trip
Beyond the horizon that’s just been born, oh
Nobody but us
Nobody else is here
Toward that place we dreamed of from afar, baby
Nobody, if I’m with you
Nobody, if it’s just the two of us
Surely, we’ll ride a new wind and fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
No matter how far, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Riding the wind, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Oh baby, we’ve set ourselves free
Like a bird, fly away
The shadow of a cloud blocking the light—
I say don’t be afraid (Don’t be afraid)
Don’t look away
Just look at me, always
I’m right by your side; confirm this love
Hold it tight in those arms of yours
Let’s go, let’s go on a trip (Go on a trip)
Imagine it like a brand-new, blank canvas, oh
Nobody but us
Nobody else is here
Toward that place we dreamed of from afar, baby
Nobody, if I’m with you
Nobody, if it’s just the two of us
Surely, we’ll ride a new wind and fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
No matter how far, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Riding the wind, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Oh baby, we’ve set ourselves free
Like a bird, fly away
I’ve already torn up and thrown away the old map
In its place, what I’ve grasped is freedom
The only thing I want to protect is simply, baby it’s you
It’s the start of a journey without an end
(Fly away, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Fly away, ooh)
Fly away, baby
Woah-uh-woah-oh
(Fly away, ooh)
Baby, come and fly away
Nobody but us
Nobody else is here
Toward that place we dreamed of from afar, baby (I’ll take you there)
Nobody, if I’m with you
Nobody, if it’s just the two of us
Surely, we’ll ride a new wind and fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
No matter how far, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Riding the wind, fly away
(Fly away, ooh)
Oh baby, we’ve set ourselves free
Like a bird, fly away
