lyrics

“Is there a light at the end of this tunnel,” she says / “‘Cause I don’t know why I keep hitting brick wall every time / I’m tryin’ to change my life, picking up pieces around / But something keeps coming my way and it’s bringin’ me down”

Life keeps on dealing her hands that she cannot refuse / The current is taking her down all the feeder streams / And history’s repeating itself each and every day / She’s desperately wanting someone who will take her away

But she wants to fly / She doesn’t know why / She wants to fly, Shelly fly / She wants to fly / She doesn’t know why / She wants to fly, Shelly fly

Well give her the strength to hold on to her own every day / Send her butterflies, flowers and winds that’ll show her the way / Whisper into her ear all those sweet nothings she’s longing to hear / Quietly drawing her into the mystery that you are near / ‘Cause I don’t know how to reach out and keep hold of her hand / But I wanna know she’s staying ready and willing to stand / I’ll close my eyes just long enough to know that you’re near / But she’ll close her eyes just long enough to start feeling her fear

But she wants to fly / She doesn’t know why / She wants to fly, Shelly fly / She wants to fly / She doesn’t know why / She wants to fly, Shelly fly / Fly Shelly fly / Fly Shelly fly / Fly Shelly fly / Fly Shelly fly
