I wanna fly, can you take me far away? 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 too involved, need resolve At least you don't judge me, you owe me a more of what you need Hands are ready whenever 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 can take off your day shifts I know you want more too, you stand on your own two But I could be your baby's daddy looking like a uncle With my bald head, you don't care about that You gon' love me when it's all said and 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? 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 The strings about these dreams, they all fall down I see the feathers from my wings float As 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 ain't meant for kids and I'll admit I'm seeking higher up, take off Paint me a picture and go for it Bouncing the coast on a road tour And I still ain't got nothing to show for it Bet when I lay, you'll say, so sorry, this a ghost town Never something you could hold down Bit of drifting through the winter But then and again, in the end, it's like home now You're like Wendy, boy, I feel like Peter Pan And it's a hundred miles till we meet again But if you wanna fly to me in Neverland, it's a rush Faith, trust, and 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? 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 *
