[Intro]
The way it feels to fly
The way it feels to fly
Runway, runway, runway

[Verse 1]
They'll come a day when we won’t have to fight
Won't be about who was wrong who was right
Like fireflies emanating the light
Just you and I universally tied
There's truth for those if they want to hear
Somewhere out in the atmosphere
To survive gotta persevere
Cause to fly gotta have no fear

[Pre-Chorus 1]
First they love you, like ooo it’s just you
And then they bait you and try to change you
You can push through it, stay the same you and
Never let 'em bring you down
Remember there's only one you
And there's a God up above you
You can soar above the hurt when it taunts you
Float like a hummingbird if you want to

[Chorus]
Let love be your runway
There is a higher place
Just embrace that feeling when you're rising
And your face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
Win the race keep kissing the horizon

[Hook]
Runway...
Runway...
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
Win the race, let love be your runway

[Verse 2]
There's a band of color that reflects the love you have inside
And you will discover there is solace though you’re terrified
And I promise there is truth for those who really want to hear
If you wanna touch the sky and fly you’ve got to have no fear

[Pre-Chorus 2]
First they love you and then they judge you
And try and chain you and then they drain you
You can push through it stay the same you and
Never let 'em bring you down
Remember there’s only one you
And here's a God up above you (True)
You can soar above the hurt when it taunts you
Float like a hummingbird if you want to

[Chorus]
Let love be your runway
There is a higher place
Just embrace that feeling when you're rising
And your face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
Win the race keep kissing the horizon

[Hook]
Runway...
Runway...
Just shake off those demons that you’re fighting
(Baby I'm your runway)
Win the race, let love be your runway

[Bridge]
Runway, runway...
(Let love be your runway)
Runway, runway...
(Let love be your runway)
Runway, runway...
(Let love be your runway)
Runway, runway...
(Let love be your runway)

[Chorus]
Let love be your runway
There is a higher place (higher place)
Just embrace that feeling when you're rising
(Feeling when you're rising)
And your face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
Win the race keep kissing the horizon

[Hook]
Runway...
Runway...
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
Win the race, let love be your runway

[Outro]

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
