I know why we want to fly
To soar above the clouds so high
To fly like birds with no care at all
And look down on earth while we fall
Not knowing where we’re going, just trying to get by
I know why we want to fly

I know why we want to run
To escape our problems that we shun
Leaving the past behind and the future ahead
Just hoping to get our daily piece of bread
For we are all facing the trigger of a gun
I know why we want to run

I know why we want to hope
To try to achieve the things we think are dope
To believe and wish in dreams to come true
And indulge in fantasies that we brew
To reach for the fruits of life and hear the word nope
I know why we want to hope
