Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sun is coming up over the Hill

I can hardly sit still

I got the will and I'll find a Way

I'm not afraid

Waited for the chance all of my Life

I can watch it go by

Now is the Time

It's our choice to make

Every breath we take

No more praying

Off your knees

Play your heart out

Till your fingers bleed

Yesterday's history

Tomorrow's a mystery

But today we're gonna shine

So put your hands up

And touch the sky

Cause the sky is the limit Tonight

We are all born to fly, yeah

So put your hands up

And touch the sky

Cause the sky is the limit Tonight

We are all born to fly, yeah

Reaching for a higher elevation

A new destination new revelation

Find it in your heart

That's where you start yeah

So no more praying

Off your knees

Play your heart out

Till your fingers bleed

Yesterday's history

Tomorrow's a mystery

But today we're gonna shine

So put your hands up

And touch the sky

Cause the sky is the limit Tonight

We are all born to fly yeah

Nothing to fear but fear itself

You got nothing to lose so give it hell

I'm not wasting more dimes on wishing wells

We gotta rise up high

Yeah yeah

So put your hands up

And touch the sky

Cause the sky is the limit Tonight

We are all born to fly yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• I can hardly sit still

  ➔ Modal verb + adverb of degree + bare infinitive (ability)

  ➔ The modal **"can"** expresses ability. The adverb **"hardly"** modifies the verb, and the bare infinitive **"sit"** follows the modal.

• I'm not afraid

  ➔ Negative present simple with contraction (to be + not)

  ➔ The contraction **"I'm"** = **"I am"**. Adding **"not"** makes the sentence negative, expressing lack of fear.

• Waited for the chance all of my life

  ➔ Simple past tense with prepositional phrase (for + noun) and time expression

  ➔ The verb **"Waited"** is in the simple past, showing a completed action. The preposition **"for"** introduces the object **"the chance"**, and **"all of my life"** indicates the duration.

• Now is the time

  ➔ Present simple with copular verb "to be" used for emphasis and identification

  ➔ The copular verb **"is"** links the subject **"Now"** with the complement **"the time"**, stressing that the present moment matters.

• Every breath we take

  ➔ Simple present with a relative clause omitted (implicit "that")

  ➔ The phrase **"we take"** functions as a reduced relative clause modifying **"breath"**, equivalent to **"that we take"**.

• So put your hands up and touch the sky

  ➔ Imperative mood with coordinated verbs (put … and touch …)

  ➔ The verb **"put"** starts an imperative command. It is linked with **"touch"** by the conjunction **"and"**, giving two actions to perform.

• We are all born to fly

  ➔ Passive infinitive "born to + verb" expressing purpose or destiny

  ➔ The phrase **"born to"** is followed by the base verb **"fly"**, meaning that we were created **"for the purpose of flying"**.

• You got nothing to lose so give it hell

  ➔ Colloquial "got" as present perfect of "have" + infinitive of purpose; imperative clause after "so"

  ➔ Here **"got"** means **"have"**. The infinitive phrase **"to lose"** shows what is lacking. After **"so"**, the imperative **"give it hell"** advises action.

• Nothing to fear but fear itself

  ➔ Negative construction "nothing to + verb" expressing absence of something; idiomatic contrast "but"

  ➔ The phrase **"nothing to fear"** means there is **no reason to be afraid**. The conjunction **"but"** introduces the contrast **"fear itself"**.
