fly away

when i wake up in the mornin'

i look at the sky up ahead

and i wonder what it'd be like

to be there

yes to be there. now i can tell you lots o' stories. i can tell you how it should be. but if you wanna find a good life

take it from me

yes take it from me. 'cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird. 'cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun. 'cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow. can't cha' see? lord

can't you see?

now i can't tell you how to live. i hope that you can understand. so when you're down you have to find a way

to be a man

yes to be a man. 'cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird. 'cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun. 'cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow. can't you see? lord

can't you see?

fly away!
