The weather is getting warmer and I’m ready for an adventure!!

Lyrics:

Further up the hill
Keep track of the sun
Flip the hourglass
Hold your breath until time is done

Feel the pressure rise
As the wind races down the path
Just around the bend
Sits the line where there’s no looking back

And our hearts start beating
With the same kind of thunder in the sky
All our thoughts are filled wonder
And an ongoing stream of asking why?
Our lungs are full of sunbeams
And our eyes look like the stars
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
How our lives have finally started

Look beyond the trees
See how far we’ll go
Like a fairy tale
Turn the page and see the chapters grow

Never mind the gaps
In between
The Canyons left to cross
Hand in hand with faith
Don’t let go of dreams you haven’t lost

And our hearts start beating
With the same kind of rhythm in the rain
All our thoughts are filled wonder
As we go to a place we’ve never been
Our lungs are full of sunbeams
And our eyes look like the stars
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
How our lives have finally started

Our steps are lighter than the clouds
The nothing to tie us down
The Earth is beckoning
hear it sing
It’s time to spread our wings

I’ll be here with you
You’re not on your own
When the river’s crossed
Take a breath and see how much you’ve grown

And our hearts start beating
With a new bright intensity for life
All our thoughts are filled wonder
And now our souls are made of light
Our lungs are full of sunbeams
And our eyes look like the stars
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
How our lives have finally started
