about

Available for the first time in its unedited format, 'Live Above Fear' is a song about the desire to turn into a Haast Eagle and fly away from one's earthly troubles.

*Originally released as part of The Chin Returns beard-shaving campaign which raised several thousand dollars for the mental heath support organisation BeyondBlue.

lyrics

TO LIVE ABOVE FEAR WOULD BE
A DREAM BEYOND REACH FOR ME
BUT THOUGHTS CONTAGIOUS TAKE HOLD
ABOUT HOW THINGS MIGHT UNFOLD

OVER AND OVER I DREAM OF FLIGHT
OF A FEATHERED AND WONDER FILLED LIFE

AS I TAKE TO THE SKIES ON MY EAGLE WINGS
TAKE TO THE SKIES WHERE THE ANGELS SING
AND LEAVE MY WORRIED LIFE BEHIND

UP HERE THE WORLD SEEMS SO SMALL
MY FEARS CAN'T PLAGUE ME NO MORE

'CAUSE I'M DANCING WITH CLOUDS AND CHASING THE WIND
NOTHING CAN WORRY ME NOW AS I SPIN

AS I TAKE TO THE SKIES ON MY EAGLE WINGS
TAKE TO THE SKIES WHERE THE ANGELS SING
AND LEAVE MY WORRIED LIFE BEHIND

I'M GONNA TAKE TO THE SKIES
WHERE THE ANGELS SING
TAKE TO THE SKIES
AND LEAVE MY WORRIED LIFE BEHIND

WHO KNOWS WHEN I WILL RETURN...
