The Flying Song
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.
It's easier to love somebody
It's easier that you be loved
You say you want to be somebody
Why don't you be yourself
If you wait for an answer
From somewhere up above
You may never hear the laughter
You've been dreaming of
Now we're flying so high
With the world down below
Spread your wings across the sky
It's easier to love somebody
It's easier that you be loved
You say you want to trust somebody
Why don't you trust yourself
If a wave rolls down from heaven
With the turning of the tide
You're pulled in all directions
Only for a while
Now we're flying so high
With the world down below
Spread your wings across the sky
It's easier to love somebody
It's easier that you be loved
You say you want to be somebody
Why don't you be yourself
Now we're flying so high
With the world down below
Spread your wings across the sky
Now we're flying so high
With the world down below
Spread your wings across the sky
We're flying so high
With the world down below
Spread your wings across the sky
Be someboby, be somebody
