The Mint – Afraid To Fly lyrics

Running all day in this crystal maze
I lost my way and I don't know where to go, oh no
My sense of direction, my thoughtful inspection, is full of perplexion
When I think it through
Don't you?

I follow this road with my heavy load
Kick a stone, drag my tired feet, in the heat
I stumble and fall, reduced to a crawl, I give out a call
Begging on my knees
Help me please

And then I lift my eyes to see
It is my friend or mystery
And I ask you for the way
And this is what I hear you say

You've gotta be strong
It's time to move on
So keep holding on
The good times will come

(piano)

Sat in this cage, filling with rage, stuck on a stage
Trying to write my script
Ill-equipped
Pull out a pen, but no-body cares
They all sit and stare at my tragedy, hopelessly

Then I see your friendly face
Will I get out of this place
With a deep and heartfelt sigh
You smile back with this reply

You've gotta be strong
It's time to move on
So keep holding on
The good times will come

You wait until the sun goes down
Before you can see the stars
You wait until the raindrops fall
Before the rainbow comes...

(bass)

Now this is what I say to you
If you're ever feeling blue
I'll be with you, never fear
And this advice that you will hear

You've gotta be strong
It's time to move on
So keep holding on
The good times will come
You've gotta be strong
It's time to move on
So keep holding on
The good times will come
