[Verse 1]
Shining in the silver moon
Crystal ships are sailing to the sea
Dreams the joys of pearls and gold
And our angel's wings in flight unfold

[Chorus]
Fly, fly by my window
Flying so free, yeah
Yes, they fly, fly by my window
Yes, those bright diamonds a-once were stone
Rolling down a silver stream
Yes, those bright diamonds a-once were stone

[Verse 2]
Sail on a silver wings of fire
Sailing dreams beyond the silver moon
In silver clouds that fly so high
Live the dreams you search
But can't find

[Chorus]

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
