Let's say hello to the real world
Give her a wave
Tell her it's okay
To be scared of being discovered
Find it hard to trust another
To feel often like a child when you are grown

Saw you swoop by
On that frosty night
I swear it was you
Lord, it must be true
I am tired but my eyes are shining
Be the one who catches lightening
But I'm scared of letting all the magic go

And how do you fly?
'Cause I think I'm ready to give it a try

Let's say hello to the real world
Bring on the rain
It'll be okay
How do you fly round the planet?
Can you speak in every language?
How will I create my own path through the world?

And how do you fly?
'Cause I think I'm ready to give it a try
And how do you fly?
'Cause I think I'm ready to give it a try

I hear your feet on my old slate roof
I'll stay in bed, no I don't need proof
Let me hold on to the magic
Now close your eyes my sweet romantic
When they open there's another Christmas Day

And how do you fly?
'Cause I think I'm ready to give it a try
And how do you fly?
'Cause I think I'm ready to give it a try
I think I'm ready to give it a try
