You always wanted to fly, my friend
And you finally had your own chance

You looked above
And saw what would take you
Take you away from this planet Earth

And oh, how did you smile
Naive, young and wild
Like the innocence of a young child

One could taste the joy
Of seeing this young man fill his void

But what did you really hide
There isn't a smile
That can hide your real light
And how dark it now shines

You were fed up by the routines
Fed up by the doctrines
Fed up by the lost dreams
You just wanted to fly away
Run away from your misdeeds

Leave behind all the pain
Start a new life in an unknown place
Press the reset button on your disgrace

Leave behind all the worlds built for two
But where one really just stood
So many times you miscalculated what felt true

So fly
Fly away
To an unknown place
So you can escape from yesterday

So fly
Fly away
See the earth shrink in your gaze
And look forward to the deep space

Leave the world
Where you felt ignored
And prepare for your new place
