forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
cause you've already won
forget the pain and leave the tears behind you
bury underneath your feet the remains
of what's been left behind
cause you have got a long
long way to run

but now you dance the rest of the way
and you don't look back
can you hear that angel singing
as you rise

now you fly away
and you don't look down now
and you laugh till you can't laugh any longer
as you watch your chains fall to the ground

will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands
when you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with
when you walk upon thin ice that you know you should not be walking
why do you wonder why that you fell through

now you fly away
and you don't look down now
and you laugh till you can't laugh any longer
as you watch your chains fall to the ground

I know you laugh
and show tears
smile down at your fears
from where you are
from way up here
you know
nothing's ever looked so good
nothing ever looked so good

but now you dance the rest of the way
you don't look back
can you hear that angel singing
as you rise

and you fly away
and you don't look down now
and you laugh till can't laugh any longer
as you watch your chains fall to the ground

and you fly away
and you don't look down now
and you laugh till you can't laugh any longer
as you watch your chains fall to the ground
