I Wanna Fly

I wanna fly

Can you take me far away

And give me a star to reach for?

Tell me what it takes, and I'll go so high

I'll go so high my feet won't touch the ground

Just stitch my wings and pull the strings

About these dreams that all fall

Things they fall

I feel so alone

I get you involved

Need resolve

At least you don't judge me

You are me or more

What you need?

Hands are ready when your feet get sore

Scratch and claw

Whenever I'm in it, let me hit it raw

Lately I've been getting to the money

It's amazing, maybe if I make enough

You could take off your day shifts

I know you would want to

You stand on your own too

But I could be your baby's daddy, looking like an uncle

With my bald head, you don't care about that

You gon' love me when it's all said, been done

Usually I run

When I get all these butterflies inside of my garden

But I wanna fly

I wanna fly

Can you take me far away

And give me a star to reach for?

Tell me what it takes, and I'll go so high

I'll go so high my feet won't touch the ground

Just stitch my wings and pull the strings

About these dreams that all fall down

I see the feathers from my wings, floaters

I plummet through the sky for flying high enough to see the sun

I am not too quick to speak in lies and say I quit

But see the sky emit for kids

And I'll admit I'm seeking higher up

Take off

Paint me a picture and go for it

Bounce on the coast on the road touring

I still ain't got nothing to show for it

Bet when I land you'll see soul soaring

It's a ghost town, never something you can hold down

Been a drifting through the winter

But then it again and the end is like home now

You're like Wendy, boy, I feel like Peter Pan

And it's a hundred miles 'til we meet again

But if you wanna fly to me in Neverland, it's a rush

Fate trusting pixie dust could only get so far before the stars, but that's enough

So won't you tell me what you want?

I want

I wanna fly

Can you take me far away

And give me a star to reach for?

Tell me what it takes, and I'll go so high

I'll go so high my feet won't touch the ground

Just stitch my wings and pull the strings

About these dreams that all fall down
