take a leap from the air looks impossible spread our wings with no fear nothing's impossible what you said flew over my head birds are everywhere tried to figure out what it meant anyway everywhere take a leap from the air looks impossible spread our wings with no fear nothings impossible
3.	Friends in Time 01:32	lyrics
O my long and winding soul through years and back I go on times unbinding seas they are all that's left of me but fates do as they please Crawling on their knees toward mortal faring deeds their love forsake

5.	Assuming the Form 01:39	lyrics
You're like a wild animal oh yes you can and will i love you like an animal i know that you love animals i can't shake it just yet i can't shake it just yet I know you're always passing through I know you always see me on the bill I've heard the rumors that are so untrue You know I think about you i can't shake it just yet i can't shake it just yet I know a lot of animals run at me wild animal stop me with your sign animal take me to your sign i can't shake it just yet i can't shake it just yet
