Lyrics
Take a chance on me that's all I'm asking
Throw doubt and caution to the wind
And we can trip the light fantastic
Come with me now spread your wings
Where spirits fly that is where I long to be
Where you and I can see beyond our wildest dreams
Close your eyes and we could almost be
Where spirits fly, beyond belief
Back in the land of the living where we're tied and bound
And the weight of the world keeps bringing me down
Where spirits fly and you and I are free
To walk the line between flesh and fantasy
Close your eyes and we could almost be
Where spirits fly, beyond belief
Take a chance on me that's all I'm asking
Dance where angels fear to tread
Sometimes I wish I could shed my skin
And leave this wounded land for dead
Where spirits fly that is where I long to be
Where you and I can see beyond our wildest dreams
Close your eyes and we could almost be
Where spirits fly, beyond belief
Words & music: most probably Gary Marx
