If I could learn how to fly, I would I would never say goodbye for good But the world keeps passing by my eyes And the laughter doesn't outnumber the cries I’d count the tears for the team But I’m almost out of years that could gleam From the sweetness of a soul so kind Someone old and tired now I find Tell the breeze I miss its open air And walking through the leaves without a care But sometimes snow will weigh me down As the cold seeps through my coat, I’ve found There are ways to escape the hurt That you should never take, no, it won’t work Dive deep into the love of something nice Before your eyes turn to fire, and your heart to ice When you hate yourself, you hate the world You are the one who controls your life unfurled Choosing what you do next Even if what happens after leaves you vexed So when you hate yourself, you hate the world The earth and the stars so swirled Keep a tie with a conscience when your hard side leads Just don’t lose your soul in your dreams I’m telling you that hard can make you leave Your comfort zone and make it hard to breathe Remind yourself that someone cares, or at least that someone might That way, if you lose, you can heal after the fight Don’t go down with your sorrows, just fly away with love And if you have a good day or a bad, know you can be an eagle as well as a dove
