Loosening my chains resting my reigns
Here in my head I float off my bed
Troubles like a sack they nearly break my back
Free them as I try I still can’t fly, can’t fly
From this resting place always see the skies
Breathe to an empty space breath out so I won’t die
The cause of all this thought is all that I’ve been taught
Relax and then ask why I still can’t fly, can’t fly
Give me the wings and I will fly
Give me the space and I will try
Give me a break, give me a break, and I will fly
And if you give me love I will fly
Those magnificent men ( X 4 )
I know the world is crazed with external stimuli
Skin so easily grazed and hearts are broken wide
We act and be so brave when it’s easier to cry
Come on open what’s inside come on let’s fly
Let’s fly high, let’s fly high
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly ( X 4 )
Those magnificent men in their flying machines in my head X2
Those magnificent men X4
