Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now

Left a flock of birds Just floating in the sky Dreaming of an empty nest Never understanding why And I wait for youth We're doing better on our own Changing patterns like a poem That the songbird used to sing Back when I thought I was king And I wait for youth But I'll take the truth On the way up Alive in my own skin And nothing's gonna stop me now I'm paving my own way And nothing's gonna stop me now I escape from escaping And there is nothing else but now Alive in my own skin And nothing's gonna stop me now Living in a yellow cage A shelter in disguise Been waiting for the perfect wings But time's the only thing that flies And I'll wake the truth With the weight of youth On the way up Alive in my own skin And nothing's gonna stop me now I'm paving my own way And nothing's gonna stop me now I escape from escaping And there is nothing else but now Alive in my own skin And nothing's gonna stop me now Nothing's gonna stop me now The skeletons are here to stay But the shadowman will fade away Only if you stop blaming it on the sun And it will lead you there
