Lyrics

[Verse 1]

World turns black and white

Pictures in an empty room

Your love starts falling down

Better change your tune

Yeah, you reach for the golden ring

You reach for the sky

Baby, just spread your wings

[Chorus]

And get higher and higher

Straight up we'll climb

We'll get higher and higher

Leave it all behind

[Verse 2]

Run, run, run away

Like a train running off the track

Got the truth being left behind

Fall between the cracks

Standing on broken dreams

Never losing sight, ah

Well, just spread your wings

[Chorus]

We'll get higher and higher

Straight up we'll climb

We'll get higher and higher

Leave it all behind

[PostChorus]

So baby, dry your eyes

Save all the tears you've cried

Oh, that's what dreams are made of

'Cause we belong

In a world that must be strong

Oh, that's what dreams are made of

[Chorus]

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher

Straight up we'll climb

Higher and higher

Leave it all behind

Oh, we'll get higher and higher

Who knows what we'll find

[PostChorus]

So baby, dry your eyes

Save all the tears you've cried

Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Oh, baby, we belong

In a world that must be strong

Oh, that's what dreams are made of

[Outro]

And in the end

On dreams we will depend

'Cause that's what love is made of
