Threw all my possessions in an old suitcase

Couldn't tell my wanting from my waste

Took the elevator to the fifty seventh floo

Tucked my chin and barreled through the door

Threw open the window pane and tossed it off the ledge

Watched the pieces scatter out and this is what I said


I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind

I'll find it


Headed for the airport in an early morning cab

The sunrise split the skyline right in half

A quiet conversation I told him of my plan

He wished me luck and quickly shook my hand

Now I'm standing on the side of the road just staring at the sky

Waiting on the sound of jets to leave the ground behind


I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind

Dream that's in my mind

Dream that's in my mind


Somewhere some kid stays awake at night lying on his bed

Dreaming of another world with rockets in his head


I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind

I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly

I want to see something fly
