lyrics

Won't you let the next evolutionary step be wings
We could get the very best perspective over things
And when we rise we gonna rise up a new species
Don't be surprised, the next evolutionary step is wings

This is not a dream, its the future don't it come so quickly
When you're only 17 the next evolutionary step is wings
In the myth of flight, we get pulled by the stray light
But it just seems right

We will adapt and little wings will flap over generations
Just give it time, and let the body be innovator
Its only natural that fiction becomes fact and it has begun
We will adapt and everyone'll clap in flying ovations, yeah

When I'm flying away
Don't say that I'm not yours

Won't you let the next evolutionary step be wings
When you break a sweat you get the very best perspective over things
And in the sky we will glide and it will be routine
Don't be surprised, the next evolutionary step is wings
