Well, I guess that you probably know by now
Em
I was one who wanted to fly
C D G D
I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven
G
And I wanted to go for every man,
Em
every child, every mother of children
C D G D
I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars
G
And I prayed that I'd find an answer there
Em
Or maybe I would find the song
C D G D
Giving a voice to all of the hearts that can not be heard
G
And for all of the ones who live in fear
Em
And all of those who stand apart
C D G
My being there would bring us a little step closer together
C D G
They were flying for me, they were flying for everyone
C D G
They were trying to see, a brighter day for each and everyone
C D
They gave us their light, they gave us their spirit,
Em C
and all they could be
D G C D G
They were flying for me, they were flying for me

And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way
Em
and dance upon the falling star
