One Day To Fly Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Where does a dream belong 

Locked in the mind, on the edge of time 

Like a ship lost in a storm 

How do we find the key 

Longing to see, through the artist's eye 

Maybe only birds can fly 

The man must be insane, who knows 

A mind alive with images so strange 

So close but never rode the sky 

Watching the birds as they sail on the wind 

Trying to figure out the reason why 

Picturing wings held together with string 

One day to fly 

As someone said and I believe 

Try if you dare, you can walk on air 

A dream is all you need 

A circle that takes you high 

Lighter than air as the earth goes by 

Through a spiral in the sky 

The man must be insane, who knows? 

A mind alive with images so strange 

So close but never rode the sky 

Watching the birds as they sail on the wind 

Trying to figure out the reason why 

Picturing wings held together with string 

One day to fly 

Just a charcoal sketch on canvas 

Made them laugh but now they see 

That the artist had a vision of 

The wind could set us free 

It's a bridge until tomorrow 

Taking us beyond the sun 

As the artist paints his picture now 

The story's just begun 

Analyzing, criticizing fear of the unknown 

Theorizing, visualizing 

The road to take us home 

If it takes forever someone's gonna fly 

We may never get to heaven 

But still we're gonna try, try 

Watching the birds as they sail on the wind 

One day to fly
