All my life I wanted to fly

Like the birds that you see way up in the sky

Making circles in the morning sun

Flying high in the sky till the day is done

I can't break away like a child in his fantasy

Punching holes in the wall of reality

All my life I wanted to fly

But I don't have the wings and I wonder why

I can't break away

Woah, well, my momma told me when I was young

Stand tall birdie, you're number one

She said, but you can be what you want to be

But you can't change the course of your destiny

I can't break away, oh no, no, no, no

I can't break away, well, I can't, I can't

I can't break away, oh no, no, no, no

I can't break away, I can't break away
