Lyrics
Open windows
Breathe in the life of the light that warms my face
Here’s my hello
Waving goodbye to yesterday
Running faster away from the past that always held me down
Hear my laughter
Feeling my feet lift off the ground
Oh I know
Watch me go
Ascend into the endless sky
Ascend into another time
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Beyond the limits of my mind
Leave behind the darkest night
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Oh I know
Watch me go
Ascend into a better life
I remember when the weight of world was more than I could take
Kept the blinds closed
The hurt was more than I could stand
Now I’m floating
Rising above the buildings down below
Moving forward
Leave it behind and let it go
Oh I know
Watch me go
Ascend into the endless sky
Ascend into another time
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Beyond the limits of my mind
Leave behind the darkest night
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Oh I know
Watch me go
Ascend into a better life
Above the clouds
I see it now
A whole new view so clear
All the pain I knew before slowly disappears along with my fears
Ascend into the endless sky
Ascend into another time
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Beyond the limits of my mind
Leave behind the darkest night
Ascend into a better life
A better life
A better life
Oh I know
Watch me go
Ascend into a better life
