So small and yet still so proud But now before a tree that looks into the clouds A high flyer's what I want to be Seems it won't let me, says I'm too small I don't feel small at all Break my dreams, that's what they'll do But now I'm gonna run away And learn to fly like you I'm gonna go so high And swoop so low You can't bring me down Gonna be so proud Oh, little angel You gotta learn to fly Get up and earn your wings tonight Little angel Just look into my eyes Get up and earn your wings tonight Then shine, then climb above The seas and chart a train To the top of the world And look around at what you see These poor high flyers None of these high flyers look like me What is that floating thing? Oh What am I supposed to be? On my way up through this crowd To find my body crushed on the ground It's so obvious Why couldn't you see That you can't go out flying Without a pair of high flyer wings Oh, little one's broken Lying on the ground Trying to get up Until his last breath out Wings are strewn everywhere But all around Even angels die That life just ain't free It's so sad But it'd be so proud Oh Broken angel You gotta learn to fly Get up and earn your wings tonight Broken angel Just look into my eyes Get up and earn your wings tonight Get up and earn your wings Earn your wings tonight
