Father, tell me somethin' 
Where do bad men go when they die? 
And mother says you'll go there but 
Wings for her and I and I don't mind 
Cause I have always wanted to learn to... 
Fly... learn to 
Fly... learn to 
Fly... learn to 
Fly... 

Brother, tell me somethin' 
If I take this, am I going to die? 
And he says no, so then I figure what the [bad word] 
I'll try cause it's my life 
So light the match and you and I will... 

Fly... learn to 
Fly... learn to 
Fly... learn to 
Fly... 

Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness 
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God, as my witness 
For all the [bad word] I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy 
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar... 

And father tell your son, 
It's not your gun and bloody hands 
Don't hide behind locked doors 
In dresser drawers those bullets wait to fly... 

Fly... wait to 
Fly... wait to 
Fly... wait to 
Fly... 

Cause I'm on my hands and knees 
I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness 
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, 
God, as my witness 
For all the [bad word] I've broke and, 
let justice know, it's just that easy 
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
