Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know
Which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine

And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

    Those two lines stick out everytime I hear that song..it's one of my favourite songs ever, if not my best, and hearing it live reduces me to tears everytime..

    I think it's about being happy in life, and love, whether its unconditionally or falling for someone it's what makes you complete and it's the best feeling ever.

    I also love this verse -
    "So, impossible as it may seem
    You've got to fight for every dream
    Cos who's to know which one you let go
    Would have made you complete"

    General Comment:Really really like the lines
    "You've got to fight for every dream
    Cos who's to know which one you let go
    Would have made you complete"
    It makes me full of energy.
    but,I am always puzzled that Westlife's songs are almost concerning the love between man and women even if what lies before it is really means the dream the ambition or sth like that.
    "Well, for me it's waking up beside you
    To watch the sunrise on your face
    To know that I can say I love you
    In any given time or place"
    the line is a bit depth of skin.
    in my view it's an only spot.

    General Comment:This was Westlife's number one single in 2000 I believe. Ruben Studdard ruined the song completely when he made an attempt to cover it. Simon Cowell from american idol is Westlife's producer and I for one cannot believe he let Ruben cover this song. Westlife do an exceptional job. Also, they wrote a few songs on their "World of Our Own" album and "Face to Face."

    General Comment:I agree with sexywhelo!!
    The songs about finding somthing that makes your smile. Theres been plenty of occasions when ive been chattin to some on n they say somthing an dit just makes me smile.
    Or when one time i was sat in the canteen and my friend was doing a cute little dance and to this day i can sit on the bus and laugh to my self about it.
    The song reminds me of the times were your in a big group of people and you can jsut take a step back and see everyone at there best - how it should be.
    it reminds me of when your riding the bus and its raining and you just see people running around or enjoyin the rain- seeing the kids run for cover stuff liek that.

    It all just makes me smile.
