The only view You've ever had -

Is from the inside out 
 D 
Faith keeps telling You there's more

But You believe in doubt 

       G 
Well I guess nobody told You - 

How beautiful You are 
          A 
'cos the door was always closed  

when You got too far 

     G 
They Tricked You into thinking 

Both Your wings are clipped 'n' 
 D                         A 
You ain't ever seeing the sky 

   G 
If You could see what I see 

Maybe then You'd believe

The light You got will always rise

Every song You want to sing

And You can't even imagine 

 How strong You are
