I WANT TO FLY
JANUARY, 1992

I SEE MY DAYS PASS BEFORE ME, ONE BY ONE THEY SLIP AWAY,
INTO THE SEA OF ORDINARY, AN ENDLESS STREAM, A MINDLESS MAZE.
I HOPE SOMEDAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, TO LAUNCH A DREAM AND BREAK AWAY.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BREAK THE CYCLE, TO SHAKE ME LOOSE FROM THE EVERYDAY?
CHORUS:
I WANT TO FLY LIKE THE MIGHTY EAGLE FAR ABOVE THIS PRESENT WORLD
LIFT MY WINGS AND RIDE THE WIND, FILLED WITH FREEDOM AS I SOAR.
I WANT TO STAND LIKE AN ANCIENT MOUNTAIN ARRAYED IN QUIET MAJESTY, RISING UP THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES, HOLDING BACK ADVERSITY.
SOMETHING IN ME CRIES FOR FREEDOM FROM THE BOUNDARIES HOLDING ME
I WON'T REST, TILL THE EAGLE FLIES IN ME.

SO LET MY DAYS COUNT FOR SOMETHING MORE THAN WISHING TIME AWAY, ALWAYS REACHING ONE STEP FURTHER, NEVER SATISFIED TO STAY.
I'VE ABANDONED THE DELUSION THAT THE BEST OF LIFE IS FREE
AND SUCCESS WILL HUNT ME DOWN, JUST TO THROW ITSELF ON ME.
CHORUS: I WANT TO FLY...
BRIDGE:
I WILL TRAMPLE INHIBITIONS. I WILL CHALLENGE ALL MY FEARS.
I'LL AWAKEN GIFTS I'VE HIDDEN AND NEGLECTED THROUGH THE YEARS.
INSTRUMENTAL (FIRST HALF OF CHORUS)
SOMETHING IN ME CRIES FOR FREEDOM FROM THE BOUNDARIES HOLDING ME
I WON'T REST TILL THE EAGLE FLIES IN ME.
I WON'T REST TILL THE EAGLE FLIES IN ME.
