LYRICS
I have walked about a million miles, step by step into the haze
To notice that it took a while, that circles where the ways I made
Is it far too late, changing my own fate
A million voices telling me, tomorrow is a different day
Our concept is to do the same, the opposite of yesterday
Let me get away

Chorus:
At the speed of light I fly, I'm one step away
Seconds turn days into nights and I am on my way
At the speed of light I fly, aeons passing by
All believers still alive, at speed of light they fly

A cave, narrow walls surrounding me, this is just a place to die
Although sometimes one gets to see shiny lightnings passing by
At the speed of light, breaking through the night
A million voices telling me nonsense I should listen to
There's better life beyond these walls and now I know what to do
I will get away

Pre-chorus:
End what was there, what has been, break the silence
Tell me about what you hold inside
See what is here, what will be, be inspired
Take off to fly to a better life

Chorus

Bridge (x2):
Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
Still it's all the same
Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
I'm here to remain

Solo

Pre-chorus
