When We Fly

Pray the fear of living life is gone

Pray I've the strength to carry on

The hopes and dreams, always harder than they seem

I'm found without a set of wings

I wonder when I'll finally have it all

Then wonder when I'll hit the wall

The cures we should find and the mountains we should climb

I think we'll be alright when we fly, yeah

When I fly the hunt becomes my art

My idle hands, your bleeding heart

The claw ends the fight in the shadows of the night

One inch away to take your life

I seek all powers of the earth below

To gain the strength I've never known

It's a wide open door, we're much different than before

To rule the skies forevermore

The mirror lies with my reflection

Waiting for this new direction

Waiting for some bold reaction from you

Take a step back from the churning

Try to act on what I'm learning

Realize there's only so much we can do

Tired of the superficial goals

So tired, long before I'm old

A crowd may gather round, as you briefly leave the ground

But an eagle's freedom's never found

Pray the scripture's promised land is true

Pray that I have nothing left to lose

The blood and the scars, though we'll never touch the stars

Remember why we've come this far, yeah
