[Intro]
E         Am   E  Em D
Aah, ooh, aah, aah

[Verse 1]
Em
  Some days when
I'm dreaming,
 I think of how far
         D
I have come
All my life's led
to this,
 and now I see
              Em
what I've become
I always had
doubted that I
                    D
could ever be someone
That mattered, that
         D/A
shattered   all
these glass ceilings
up above

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
All  that I want
is to see all the
                     D
things that I could be
                   Bm7
Destiny's calling me

[Chorus]
We're children
of the
 Cadd9               Em
sky   flying up so high
                 D
Let me be that one
to find
               Am7
the brightest sun
We're children of
     Cadd9
the sky   guided
          Em
by the light
Let me reach new
    D
heights, to stars
              Am7
amongst the night
We're children
         E Am
of the sky

[Verse 2]
Em
  I cannot give
up hope,
though there are
storms
            D
within my seas
Won't turn back when
I lack, sometimes it's
                  Em
hard just to believe
I've wanted to save us
            D
from ourselves
Just wanted to
         D/A
raise us,   to
save us from ourselves
