Fly Songtext
von Les Sampou

It comes as some surprise
We thought you were so brave
No mountain was too high to climb
The epitaph for your grave
But now this fear of flying
And references to age
Keep you down upon the ground
An eagle in a cage

You talk to me about courage
Wasn′t it you who said
Once you start trying
You're better off dead
It′s time to fly
Fly
Fly


There are things that must be said
You can't shortchange the truth
Uttering quaint civilities
While they piss upon your boots
You do it for kids
You do it for the wife
You do it until you can't deny
You′ve done in your whole life

You talk to me about courage
Wasn′t it you who said
Once you start flying
You're better off dead
It′s time to fly
Fly
Fly

There once was an old man
Who lived upon the edge
"Come here to me, my little one
No, I'm afraid," the child said
He coaxed her with a smile
Saying, "No harm will come to you"
Then he pushed her off into the wind
She spread her arms and flew


You talk to me about courage
Wasn′t it you who said
Once you start flying
You'll never fear death
It′s time to fly
Fly
Fly
