I’ve been so lonely, I can’t find any way
So long since I lost my way
I’ve got a feeling you’re gonna run away anyday
Why does it always seem to be me?

So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly away
I wanna climb really high all the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away

You say you’re all right, you don’t care anyway
I’m listening, you’re trying to say
You think I’m crazy, you’re thinking you’ve got everything right
But you’re fooling no-one else but yourself

So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly away
I wanna climb really high all the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away

If you get lonely, you can’t get along by yourself
You’re finding you’re needing me
Don’t wait forever for me to come a-following you
I’ll wait here, you come back by yourself

And we can fly, we can fly like a bird in the sky
We can fly away
And we can climb really high all the time in the sky
Gonna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away
