Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you my friend Light years above (Take me higher) Time seems to wait (Take me higher) Promise to see you again It haunts to remember All the memories of that day Pre-flight demonstration Led to desperate voices fueled by flames Now I'm out here waitin' Hoping you would send a sign Came a million miles And the earth grows small as I lovingly leave it behind Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you my friend We seem to have found it All the hope we've been denied There's more than we've been told Had to find it on the other side Now I must be dreaming Face against the frozen glass But there's no return now And the blazing worlds salute As we go flying past Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you my friend Light years above (Take me higher) Time seems to wait (Take me higher) Promise to see you again Meet you in the stars tonight There you find me drifting in the ether within the hill
