There's a barren desert wasteland that I call my own
By a dried-out riverbank where I now stand alone

And when the sun does rise it paints the sand in shades of gold
I've been here so long but now it's time to break its hold

Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm leaving in the morning
Out of here with the dawn on wings of fire
The future's just a word, I'm ignoring every warning
Aimed at keeping me down when I could go higher
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm not a bit concerned
Icarus took a fall that I much admire

Nestled in a sycamore where lighting struck before
I keep my ashes in a jar awaiting the next storm

And when the sun does rise it paints the sand in shades of gold
I've been here so long but now it's time to take control

Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm leaving in the morning
Out of here with the dawn on wings of fire
The future's just a word, I'm ignoring every warning
Aimed at keeping me down when I could go higher
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm not a bit concerned
Icarus took a fall that I much admire

I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one

Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm leaving in the morning
Out of here with the dawn on wings of fire
The future's just a word, I'm ignoring every warning
Aimed at keeping me down when I could go higher
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
Tomorrow I'm a bird and I'm not a bit concerned
Icarus took a fall that I much admire

Ooh, oh
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
Ooh, woah, oh
I'm gonna reach out for the sun
I'm gonna burn as bright as one
