Well I guess that you probably know by now

I was one who wanted to fly

I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into Heaven And I wanted to go for every man

Every child, every mother of children

I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars And I prayed that I'd find an answer there

Or maybe I would find a song

Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard And for all of the ones who live in fear

And all of those who stand apart

My being there would bring us a little step closer together They were flying for me

They were flying for everyone

They were trying to see

A brighter day for each and everyone They gave us their light

They gave us their spirit and all they could be

They were flying for me

They were flying for me And I wanted to wish upon the milky way

And dance upon a falling star

I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all Given the chance to dream, it can be done

The promise of tomorrow is real

Children of spaceship earth, the future belongs to us all She was flying for me

She was flying for everyone

She was trying to see

A brighter day for each and everyone She gave us her light

She gave us her spirit and all she can be

She was flying for me They were flying for me

They were flying for everyone

They were trying to see

A brighter day for each and everyone They gave us their light

They gave us their spirit and all they could be

They were flying for me

They were flying for me

They were flying for me

They were flying for me
