Fly

There are hidden forces

Now surrounding me

Taking over blindly

Irresponsibly

I cannot fight this feeling

Like a curious disease

Of the mad men getting closer

Slowly slowing me

Where can I hide?

And why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

And why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

They've tried to prevent me

From living out my dreams

But nothing here should stop me

'Cause nothing's as it seems

I wish I could control them

From controlling me

But my dominoes are falling

From sea to shining sea

The tide is high

So why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

So why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

Across the oceans and the cosmos

Beyond the confines of the world

There are people moving swiftly

Their futures have unfurled

As far as distant planets

From Mercury to Mars

The age-old saying always goes"Your talent takes you far"

Well, they get by

But why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

But why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

Said why

Can't I

Fly when I try?

Yeah, why

Can't I

Fly when I try?
