Verse 1:
 E minorEm         FF     E minorEm
What does the free fall feel like?
                 G+G
Asks the boy with a spark in his eye

Know why the nightingale sings
    C majorC     D MajorD   E minorEm
Is the answer to everything.


Verse 2:
           FF    E minorEm
Taking a step to the world unbound
              G+G
Spinning my fantasies all around
             A minorAm
Freed from the gravital leash
       C majorC    D MajorD   E minorEm
I swear the heaven's in my reach

Dancing with the spirit of the air

In this ocean so so open and fair

Making love to the gods above
    C majorC   D MajorD     E minorEm
On my maiden voyage so bold


Verse 4:
            FF   E minorEm
Landing safely to the blue lagoon
                    G+G
Don't know if this is the earth or the moon

The Eden I found will forever last
