she wants to learn how to fly
sour like an eagle trough the sky
she wants spread her wings
and know the joys that only flight can bring
but there's something in her eyes you know
there's traces that always show
someone from so long ago
something that just won't let go
she wants to learn how to fly
slip the surly bounds to which she's tied
she want's to race with the wind
and feel the breath of god against her skin but
sometimes when she she smiles you see
that someone who used to be
somebody broke her heart
somebody just like you
somebody flew away
and they never came back
she wants to learn how to fly
like a night bird with stars in her eyes
she wants to make her wings
out of gossamer and yesterday's dreams
but something in her eyes that shine
betray's her real designs
somebody broke her heart
somebody just like you
somebody flew away
somebody broke her heart
somebody just like you
somebody flew away
and they never came back
