Fly Away

Pass through borders into east

And you'll see the same old streets,

Sweeping winds into your eyes

Broken future, wasted lives,

In the corner of that square,

Crumbling statues now lie there

Like those relics of the past

All of us are now outcast

The time was on our side

When everyone had their place

Fly away - fly into a time gone by

Fly away - and you hope it will return

Once i had an open mind and time to understand

But every time i had to lie to serve the native

Land, while we try to justify the madness and the wars, they will come with newer guns

And fewer ways to help the poor

Now the leaders come and go, they close up the gates and doors we made, for one moment we were free...

Now our future bright is the past and we close our minds to make them last

While waiting we bow our heads and pray...

Through your life you toiled the land and you served the state with pride, now you're left with empty hands and nobody by your side

"everlasting peace awaits, a paradise with pearly gates", so they told you all your days

Made your sacrifice your ways

The time was on your side

When everyone shared your fate

Fly away - fly into a time gone by

Fly away - and you hope it will return
