I Fly Away - Better Than Ezra

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)
