Lyrics

Wanna fly, wanna fly
Oh yeah
Everyday I wanna fly away and leave myself behind
I be looking for the chariot that's coming for to give me a ride
Every night I wanna find a home where the love will never die
Swinging low, sweet chariot, more lately you've been on my mind
I wanna fly away on wings that seem to have no end
When I've tried and tried and tried
To fly with wings that seem to bend
With every little breeze that blows
Eagle wings for ostrich things, I think I'll take a trade
All this fuss I treat my weary feet
But you need wings to walk this road
Everyday I wanna fly away and leave myself behind
Been waiting for the chariot that's coming for to give me a ride
Every night I wanna find a home where the love will never die
Ooh, swinging low, sweet chariot, more lately you've been on my mind
There's no need to crying
See, I've come to know this place quite well, can you tell?
I've spent way too much of myself here
No refunds, only rebirth
A brand new child underwater and on my knees
Now I can see more clearly that I was born to be royalty
Thy kingdom come on earth (Thy kingdom come)
Everyday I wanna fly away and leave myself behind
I'm waiting for the chariot that's coming for to give me a ride
Every night I wanna find a home where the love will never die
Swinging low, sweet chariot, more lately you've been on my mind
There's nothing left but the climb
Rocky mountain side that you couldn't if it were smooth sailing
All the way to the top, the drop would sink you
You wanna fly? Try to climb on eagle wings
That have no end and speak to wind
And walk on the water
Where a brand new child can begin again
Everyday I wanna fly away and leave myself behind
Been waiting for the chariot that's coming for to give me a ride
Every night I wanna find a home where the love will never die
Ooh, swinging low, sweet chariot, more lately you've been on my mind
Everyday I wanna fly away and leave myself behind
I'm waiting for the chariot that's coming for to give me a ride
Every night I wanna find a home where the love will never die
Swinging low, sweet chariot, more lately you've been on my mind
