Am G

Left behind by all that I know

How do you fly

When the sky’s not blue

Through the tears in my eyes

How do you fly

When you’ve got nowhere to run

And before I lose control of everything in this life

Your eyes find mine

But I’m drawn to heed the call to let go

Hope the fall will be sweeter

Only now I pray

Through the tears in my eyes

How do you fly

When you’ve got nowhere to run
