(Verse 1)
That big oak tree outside we used to climb its branches
Our whole world was its embrace
Diving limb to limb we lived for taking chances
And a smile was on your face
(Verse 2)
We sang with freebirds and we knew them all by name
They said if we let go we’d fly
Time was lazy then and life was just a game
We never stopped to wonder why
(Chorus)
Now the world is spinning fast and we need help
Takin’ time out for ourselves
Takin’ time out for ourselves
(Bridge)
Though the sun is setting down don’t be blue girl
Do you hear the eagle cry
If you could see your smile through my eyes …we can’t lose
Oh girl don’t you say goodbye
Verse 3
Maybe time’s the same and we’re the ones changing
Could it be the laughs on me
Why can’t we take advice from songbirds while they’re singing
Let go…and fly…come on be free
(Chorus)
Now the world is spinning fast and we need help
Takin’ time out for ourselves
Takin’ time out for ourselves
Takin’ time out for ourselves
