Fly Away Songtext
von Douwe Bob

Eleven years old, my hands were so cold
As I played by the old oak tree
A bird from up high with its wings like fire
Landed on the ground just a couple of yards from me

Tell me, my friend, ′cause I don't understand
Why do I keep on crying at night?
I swear I learn and behave and in the evenings I pray
So tell me why do mom and dad always fight?

If I close my eyes and I count to three
When you fly away, will you carry me?
Fly, fly, lift me up from off the ground
Take me high above the thunder and the clouds
Show me places I′ve only dreamed I'd see
Where the sky feels wide and my heart feels free
All the weight that's holding me down below
Let it break the chain and let it go
I′ll let the whole world wait for me
Just fly away and carry me


Years rolling by, there ain′t no stopping this train
No room for chasing dreams in this big old town, no, no
Although I learned how to fight, learned how to shelter from rain
I'm still waiting for that bird to come around

So if I close my eyes and I count to three
Will you fly by and carry me?
Fly, fly, lift me up from off the ground
Take me high above the thunder and the clouds
Show me places I′ve only dreamed I'd see
Where the sky feels wide and my heart feels free
All the weight that′s holding me down below
Let it break the chain and let it go
I'll let the whole world wait for me
Just fly away and carry me

Every scar is just a map of where I′ve been (Where I've been)
But I still believe I'll rise again (Rise again)
If I find that light you showed to me
Maybe I′ll finally see what you see


Fly, fly, lift me up from off the ground
Take me high above the thunder and the clouds
Places I′ve only dreamed I'd see
Where the sky feels wide and my heart feels free
I′ll let the whole world wait for me
Fly away and carry me

Oh, won't you carry me?
Mmm, just carry me
