the thrill of it all

learn to fly without wings
i hear a voice and start to sing
begin to write with my bare hands
put thoughts to paper....

i can build a tower
and watch it fall down for days
i can spend the hours
reflecting on the pain

the lessons i have learned
are all laid out in song
or celebrate in turn
the things that now are gone

its the thrill of it all
that has soaked up all these tears
the thrill of it all's
kept me writing all these years

the thrill of it all
helps me learn from these mistakes
and the thrill of it all
its what keeps me awake

i never followed my lifes plan
through all the searching for who i am
i place my trust in what i do
not things around me...

i've left all my possessions
which distract me from the aim
to play these chords of wonder
without the fortune or the fame

now i might not have much
but i have everything
cos the thrill of it all
keeps me smiling in my ways

its the thrill of it all
which has shown me the light
the thrill of it all
burns all my candles bright

the thrill of it all
i've never wanted to fly
the thrill of it all
my dreams are here to write

if you do the thing you've always wanted to
a ring of pleasure wraps itself around you

solo

this is my opinion
what i've understood
wrapped up in my emotion
just to make all you feel good

these songs are like chocoloates
filled with gold
or maybe just the parts of me
i want you to know

its the thrill of it all
that makes me wanna hide
but the thrill of it all
that makes me come alive

its the thrill of it all
that keeps me up at night
its the thrill of it all
that makes me feel so high
