[Verse 1]
G
What's this new air you have draped about you?
G
Do you know what you're going into?
D
Can you feel a change from inside?
G
You're not the same, you no longer want to hide
What's this new air you breathe from within?
G
It's telling you there's a new place
D
To begin again -- with the morning's light
G
You wake up smiling, you wake up feeling all right
[Chorus 1]
C D
Steady on, like the honkers that pass through the air
G G/F# Em
You can hear them coming and you step out and stare
C D
They're in chevron formation and they'll follow their leader
C D G
Who'll tire when she's flown through the sunshine and the thunder
[Verse 2]
G
Your legs are thin when you stand in the sea
G
They move you swiftly down the back rounds of the country
D
Maybe now you should check your speed
G
And don't forget to chase the whispers of your dreams
[Chorus 2]
C D
'Cuz you're hunting like the hawk that circles higher
G G/F# Em
You're the rising smoke from a dyin' campfire
C D
You're a thermal beneath the wing, you're cirrus in the sky
C D G
You're a reason for, you're an answer why
[Verse 3]
G
Your arms are strong when you fly through the air
D
Over streets and buildings and the people below you stare
Em
They can't believe, 'cuz they've never seen
F D
Someone who dared fly (high) outside their dreams
[chorus 1] [3x]
C D
Steady on, like the honkers that pass through the air
G G/F# Em
You can hear them coming and you step out and stare
C D
They're in chevron formation and they'll follow their leader

Who'll tire when she's flown through the sunshine and the thunder
