lyrics

There’s a boy who wants to fly
But they told him not to try
So he leaves the books unread
And floats above his bed instead

There’s a girl who thinks she’s slow
Always running, always low
She keeps trying to hide her face
But she always wins the race

There’s a boy who likes to sing
Is that such a crazy thing
While his friends just sit and stare
He hears music everywhere

There’s a girl who won’t sit still
She has an empty space to fill
They say she doesn’t have a chance
If all she wants to do is dance

There’s a man who sits and stares
In a place where no one cares
All his thoughts are fading fast
As he reflects upon his past
He’s a boy who wants to fly
He just wants to touch the sky
Would it really’ve been so bad
To live the dream that he once had

There’s a girl who always dreams
Never listening it seems
She hears what the future brings
And she dreams of better things

There’s a man who wants to fly
But they told him not to try
So he leaves the books unread
And floats above his bed instead
