Lyrics

Flight

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Let me run through a field in the night

Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight

Let me sway like the shade of a tree

Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea

Wish me on my way

Through the dawning day I

Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill

Wanna grow, wanna grow

On the side of a hill

I don't care if the train runs late

If the checks won't clear

If the house blows down

I'll be off where the weeds run wild

Where the seeds fall far from this

Earthbound town

And I'll start to soar!

Watch me rain til I pour out!

I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray

Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obbey time

Time flying away!

Flight!

Ah

Ah

Ah

Let me leave behind

All the clouds in my mind I

Wanna wake without wondering why

Finding myself for a burst for the sky!

Flight!

Flight!

I'll just roll!

Let me lose all control I

Wanna float like a wish in a well

Free as the sound of the sea in a shell

I don't know

But maybe I'm just a fool

I should keep to the ground

I should stay where I'm at

Maybe everyone has hunger like this

And the hunger will pass

But I can't think like that

All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere)

There's a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide

And I have such a river inside!

Let me run through a field in the night!

Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight!

Let me sway like the shade of a tree!

Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea!

Wish me on my way! (wish me on my way)

Through the dawning day I

Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill

Wanna grow on the side of a hill

Wanna shift like a wave going on

Wanna drift from the path

I've been traveling upon

Before I am gone
