(Take Off!)
You gotta take off so you can fly,
When you're in the air you'll find that place in the sky.
High in the air...as we're passin' by,
All of the clouds and the dreamers.


All of the emotions,
That you're feelin' right here,
Just let them out and show,
You are without fear!


(Running!) Freely moving on!
(Reaching!) Soaring for the stars!
Constant motion, yeah!
You gotta believe in yourself!


(Sonic!) His lighting speed conquers!
(Knuckles!) With his strength and will to fight!
Just like old times,
Believe in yourself! It's the only way!


(No Stopping!) Nothing but forward!
(Pushing) Even if cornered!
Keepin' top speed,
You gotta be strong! If you want to live!


Danger up ahead,
Will not stop me from reaching!
Run at it instead,
Not scared is how I'm feeling!


(Breezing!) The rushing wind comes at me!
(Breaking!) And I just broke free!
From, the rules, and restrictions,
I take off above the sea!


All of the emotions,
That you're feeling right here,
Just let them out and show,
You are without fear.


(Keeping!) Holding memories!
(Dreaming!) They are reoccurring!
Hold them tightly, yes!
You always would need a dream to go by!


(Freedom!) Is the best feeling!
(Be Strong!) You can do anything!
Staying focused,
So you can get what you are reaching for!


Speeding thru the world,
With my sense of courage!
Shining on the world,
It is the goal I see it!


(Take off!) Soaring for the sky!
(Blast off!!) Flying so high! I'm
Headed, for the, Sanctuary!
We finally have reached it now!

I'm on fire baby! >= 3 XD


Once again when I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood. 8-)


Here's another recording inspired from Speedio's awesome lyrics and audio recording that is a lyrical cover to Sonic Generation's Sky Sanctuary Zone (Modern version).


I love the tune to that level and I knew there could be a song that can be made out of it. Speedio sped up the process for me and all I had to do was tweak a few things here and there so that it flows nicely for me personally.


I hope he will make another one of these cuz I enjoy hearing his creative lyrics and enthusiastic singing! :D It's infectious. ^^


Oh and I just LOVED adding in those old school SFX's from Sonic 3 and Knuckles! That was lots of fun cuz it definitely takes me back to memory lane - the time when me and my bro played the game on the SEGA MEGADRIVE. 8-)

You know I gotta say, this is pretty good. ^^ I don't often find good covers for zone themes in the Sonic games, but I do find rare exceptions every now and then, This one is one of them. You do a really good job with the lyrics and with keeping up with the melody of the song. The addition of the sound effects from Sonic 3 was definitely a creative choice. At times they can be a little distracting, but at the same time they don't detract from the overall feel of the song.

In all, it definitely gives you a feel of sheer nostalgia just listening to it. Which I think was the point in giving Sky Sanctuary a modern remake, to make you feel nostalgic yet blown away at the same time. You did a great job adding to that with your take of this, so congrats on a job well done. ^_^ :hug::hug:

I've been looking for some new music to download...so I'm downloading this. Mwahahaha XD
