lyrics

The breeze behind us, pushing forward
as it fills our lungs with the smoke from yesterday's
Fires in the forest, where we began them!
A dance to redeem our souls and dream away

I look towards the horizon
Grasping for Earth's rotation
As if we were in slow motion
Struggling agsinst gravity.

Pushing forward...

The sun is beating down, threatening your barren chest with an effervescent glow.
And the heat is so intense that our heart's explode to expose the light below

And you win us in the race!
Shoving your light down!
Letting the night embrace our bodies and minds
and hearts so confined!
To the cage you've let out:

Pushing forward...
Keep pushing forward.
We keep pushing forward!
We keep pushing forward.

Break the bonds, the fears we see!
For they are only a nightmare's dream.

Forward, Foreward. Push foreward.
Foreword

The breeze is at our backs
And we'll never look back again!

The past holds nothing for us.

We hold our heads high!
Just hold your head high!
We hold our heads high.
Just hold your head high

We hold our heads high!
Just hold your head high!
We hold our heads high.
Just hold your head high.

We hold our heads high!
Just hold your head.
