Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Today I cried
As a man stood beside a grave
Saw the hurt in his eyes
Wrote it down and made a paper plane
[Verse 2]
Flew it in my hand
Let it guide me to the ocean's edge
Stood out in the sand
Let it go and the words got wet
[PreChorus]
They bury the dead like a bone
I need a friend I can call
[Chorus]
Where are the armies
Where is the outrage
Where are the albums that sound like
The thousands of long-lost paper planes?
People are lonely
Want to live with some kind of grace
Where are the poets, the painters
To save us from all this heartache?
[Chorus]
Ooh, make me a paper plane
Ooh, make me a paper plane
[Verse 3]
Today the world changed
The people chose their president
We cried and prayed
To a god we don't believe in
[Verse 4]
A boy got killed
And the streets were filled and they screamed his name
As time stood still
And the earth and moon went round again
[PreChorus]
They bury the dead like a bone
I need a friend I can call
[Chorus]
Where are the armies
Where is the outrage
Where are the albums that sound like
The thousands of long lost paper planes?
People are lonely
Want to live with some kind of grace
Where are the poets, the painters
To save us from all this heartache?
[Chorus]
Ooh, make me a paper plane
Ooh, make me a paper plane
[Bridge]
Stay light, stay low
Whatever way the wind blows
It isn't easy
Keeping your head afloat
[Chorus]
Where are the armies
Where is the outrage
Where are the albums that sound like
The thousands of long lost paper planes?
People are lonely
Want to live with some kind of grace
Where are the poets, the painters
To save us from all this heartache?
[Chorus]
Ooh, make me a paper plane
Ooh, make me a paper plane
Ooh, make me a paper plane
Ooh, make me a paper plane
