All of my friends are happy to stay here in this yard, day after day,
But something inside me has called me away,
I don't understand, but I know I can't stay.
I'm gonna fly,
No one knows where, but I'm gonna fly,
I'm lighter than air.
'Cause I have felt, for the first time, I can be myself,
No more faces to hide behind,
Just a smile and a dream that's mine, even if I am the only one who wants to fly.
I'm gonna fly,
No one knows where, but I'm gonna fly,
I'll soar through the air.
'Cause all my life seems I've waited for the time to start,
Being the person inside of me, unafraid of being me,
No more faces to hide behind,
Just a smile and a dream that's mine, even if I'm the only one who wants to fly.
If I had my life to live over again, I'd run bare foot, relax a bit more,
And I'd talk to more children, and I'd learn how they laughed,
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly.
I'm gonna fly,
No one knows where, but I'm gonna fly,
I'm lighter than air,
I'm gonna fly,
No one knows where, but I'm gonna fly,
I'll soar through the air.
'Cause all of my life seems I've waited for the time to start being the person inside of me,
Unafraid of being me, even if I'm the only one who wants to fly.
