[Verse 1]

Floating up to the surface

I can feel the pounding in my chest

This has to be my last breath

When I saw the light, I ran for my life

Yeah, I knew this wasn't the end

It was just the beginning



[Pre-Break]

All skinned up, by the time I reach the top

Still somehow I couldn't shake you off

And now you got me pinned

Like I'm hanging over a pride rock



You think you've got me now

But I ain't looking down

Now get your hands off

Get your hands off me

'Cause when I fall, I'm gonna fly



[Break]

I'm gonna fly



[Verse 2]

Just when you thought you've gotten away

They're telling you, you've gone the wrong way

They'll try to clip your wings and attach those puppet strings

No matter the cost, no matter the price

I've tasted too much of this paradise

I'm gonna be free, gonna be the bird I was meant to be

Pulling stunts like an F-15

Addicted to the feeling like it's nicotine

You light the match and I'll pour that gasoline



[Pre-Break]

You think you've got me now

But I ain't looking down

Now get your hands off

Get your hands off me

'Cause when I fall, I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly



Into the atmosphere

Nowhere to go but up from here

Nowhere to go, nowhere to go

But up from here



[Break]

I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly



[Outro]

When I saw the light, I ran for my life

Yeah, I knew this wasn't the end

It was just the beginning
