[Verse 1]
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
[Chorus]
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
[Verse 2]
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary nights
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
[Chorus]
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
[Bridge]
So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete (Ohh)
[Verse 3]
Well, for me it's waking up beside you (Ahh)
To watch the sunrise on your face (Ahh)
To know that I can say I love you (Ahh)
In any given time or place (Ahh)
[Chorus]
It's little things that only I know (Ahh)
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings (Ahh)
'Cause you're my special thing (Ahh)
I'm flying without wings
[Outro]
And you're the place my life begins (Ahh)
And you'll be where it ends (Ahh)
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
[Chorus]
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
[Verse 2]
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary nights
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
[Chorus]
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
[Bridge]
So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know which one you let go

And you're the place my life begins (Ahh)
And you'll be where it ends (Ahh)
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
