I Wanted to Fly

The day you went away
Was the last day I died
So I said God make me strong
Don't let my heart rest
There's so much inside of me
And I never know
When I'll break
But I will yearn to fly
To alleviate the gravity
That's running through my veins
I let my reds and blues
And ones and twos
loose the day before
I was reminded that destiny
Settles the score
There's so much inside of me
And I never know
When I'll break
Or how far I will fly
If I can't find the eagle's nest amidst all the blue
Know that I'm flying everyday until I fall
In your arms and the scorekeeper gives in
Lets us win
Surrendering everything he took
On the day I died
But I'll say God make me strong
Don't let my heart rest
There's so much inside of me
It's shaking and rattling at my core
And I'm trying so hard just to make sure
I get up to fly before I hit my bedroom floor
Oh, I'll get up to fly
Get up to fly
Before I hit my bedroom floor
