lyrics

Hold on to the inspiration
It’s like catching a dream in your hand
Hold on to the inspiration
For it doesn’t come on your command
And you never know when it’s gonna hit ya
But when it hits ya hold on
Because time flies like and arrow
First it’s there and then it’s gone
Just like this song

There’s a spirit in the valley
I can almost taste it in the air
Sometimes I can get distracted
But no matter what I know it’s there
Back in my younger days I knew how to fly
But somehow I got older and forgot
Well I’m trying to remember
To let go and be free
I close my eyes and drift away

I can see
The light within me
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
And touch my heart

There’s a burning in my soul
I wanna share it with the world
For all you spirits that are broken
I want you to be whole
The time has come at last
Your broken days are past
You can be free if you wanna be
The light is the way

Hold on to the inspiration
It’s like catching a dream in your hand
Hold on to the inspiration
For it doesn’t come on your command
And you never know when it’s gonna hit ya
But when it hits ya hold on
Because time flies like and arrow
First it’s there and then it’s gone
Just like this song
