| And on the day that I was born
|
| My mom and dad were overjoyed
|
| They wrapped me in their arms
|
| Took me home to meet my world
|
| A painted room to call my own
|
| A place where nothing could go wrong
|
| Where they could build their borders
|
| That I never would escape
|
| But I don’t need no one to break me out of here
|
| I fly away, (I fly away)
|
| When the world is burning down
|
| I am up above the clouds
|
| I fly away, (I fly away)
|
| Letting go and breathing in
|
| I float into the golden heart of love again
|
| (I fly away, I fly away, I fly away)
|
| As adolescence waved goobye
|
| I searched the world behind my eyes
|
| A permanent oasis
|
| In the middle of a war
|
| Now mom is taking happy pills
|
| And dad is drowning in his bills
|
| My sister went to rehab
|
| For the third time in a year
|
| But I don’t need to pill to help me disappear
|
| And if you believe I’m less than I was meant to be
|
| Don’t be deceived, I’m hoping I was meant to be
|
| Tell me you’re wrong
|
| And when you see the silent one
|
| Know I am more than skin and bone
|
| I am spirit, I am sound
|
| I am floating off the ground
|
| The ground, the ground
|
| To fly along…
|
| (Hey ma mama, away, oh…)
|
| Letting go and breathing in
|
| I float into the golden heart of love again
|
| I float into the golden heart of love again
|
| (Hey ma mama, away, oh
|
| Hey ma mama, away, oh) |
