Chords in this song
Strum

The and A(add9) chords are just the E form moved up 2 and 5 frets
044300
Soaring alone upon a threatening wind
077600
Just fix your eyes on the horizon
Cut off from everything you've known or have been
I shouldn't think it's so surprisin'
Spiralling upward on a freshening lift
Reaching the realms of fleet Apollo
You have been given the most sacred of gifts
You must be fearless now and follow
Don't look down, though your heart may be weary
Don't look down, though your wings are on fire
Don't look down, though the night may seem endless
There's a reason you're flying this fast and this far
May your faith be your strength and your love be your guiding star
Venturing further than the lenght of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginings
There is a gamble in each proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings
Circling and diving with this freedom you've found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place that we're bound
Love is the only thing that matters
Repeat chorus
