Southern winds on runway three
I can hear the engines calling
Like an arrow flying free
And the rain just keeps on falling

And the trembling asphalt shines
Like a knife she cuts the silence
'Til she takes off and she glides
On to the horizon

Over the mountains
Freedom's more than a word in the wind
All the sorrows your heart held in fear
Left behind now they all disappear
And whatever seemed so mighty and tall
Ain't so big after all

Here I'm standing in the haze
I can see the cloud she's climbing
As her tail lights fade away
'Til my eyes no longer find 'em

There's the echo of a sound
Hear it humming in the distance
Like she's calling out my name
I have no resistance

Over the mountains
Freedom's more than a word in the wind
All the sorrows your heart held in fear
Left behind now they all disappear
And whatever seemed so mighty and tall
Ain't so big after all

Now it's silent everywhere
Rain is creeping in my shoes and
I smell coffee in the air
Realize that I could use one

And wherever she may fly
Wonders of the world unravel
Over hills and trees so high
That's where I'll travel

Over the mountains
Freedom's more than a word in the wind
All the sorrows your heart held in fear
Left behind now they all disappear
And whatever seemed so mighty and tall
Ain't so big after all

Over the mountains
Freedom's more than a word in the wind
All the sorrows your heart held in fear
Left behind now they all disappear
And whatever seemed so mighty and tall
Ain't so big after all
Ain't so big after all
Ain't so big after all
