lyrics

Now they're gone without a trace
scales lifted and replaced
by some script upon a wall
bolded gold and uppercase

they don't offer any proof
no universal truth
they don't tell me where I'm going
they're just begging me to move

but all the things that they say
get in the way
and I'm so tired of their talking
oh and I know that the first step is the worst step
and anyway who said anything about walking

no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life
and know that I tried

now I've been standing in this light
waiting for my time to shine
and now I can't help but feeling
that I'm running out of time

while I'm staring at the rain
pouring down the window pane
as if I need another excuse
to stay inside

and all the things that they say
get in the way
and I'm so tired of their talking
oh and I know that the first step is the worst step
and anyway who said anything about walking

no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life
and know that I tried

and the trick is to hold on and let go at the same time
redefine, redesign, realign
I wanna pull the stick back
cause you know that every rise comes with the fall
every fall with the rise
every gift with the curse, every curse with the gift
don't be surprised when the winds shift
or when the winds shift back

and all the things that they say
get in the way
and I'm so tired of their talking
oh and I know that the first step is the worst step
and anyway who said anything about walking

no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life
and know that I tried

at least I tried
I know that I tried
at least I tried
I know that I tried
at least I tried to fly
