Flying Solo

'Cross the bering strait To a foreign land I took the sky just like I planned Left my old life behind There in the ice and snow Followed a rainbow to Mexico Somewhere this side of lucky Just shy of goin' down There's a pilot with her wings on fire And she doesn't even notice She's got magic on her mind 'Cause she's flying solo for the first time [Chorus:] Flying solo Like an angel in the night Flyin' solo Across the great divide I've been down so low, now I'm up so high There ain't nothin' short of dying Is gonna make me change my mind Flyin' solo, flyin' solo Like a fallin' leaf I fell down from your tree Chalk one up to prosperity In search of warmer waters I'm like a bird gone south Don't know just what I'll find But I'm findin' out Now here I'm dancin' with the moon Spinning out of control Never be the same again 'Cause there's a place on the horizon Where it hardly ever rains The sun is always shining Freedom is it's name [Chorus] Around the world that's where I'll be Amelia Earheart's got nothin' on me [Chorus] --- Flying Solo - Ilse DeLange
