Flying Away

Should've told 'em then and there

Now I made myself a mess

And really what the hell is wrong with me?

Why do I always second-guess?

They gave up so much

So I could have more

And if I don't go

What was all of it for?

Flying away

The wind on my side

Taking on chance on me

Looking ahead for the first time

But could I fly away

Without her on my side?

Summer heat and summer sweat

Dragging me down

What's the point of having wings at all

If I never leave the ground?

Why settle for less?

I'll impress them and show

I belong skyward bound

Flying away

Doing it all

If I can prove her wrong

Maybe my dreams wouldn't have to be small

I'll find a way

To get them on my side

Fly to the edge of it all and rewrite my story

Show that I'm so much more than a face in the crowd

And the fact that I reach is the reason they're proud

Maybe then she would give me her blessing

If I can be brave enough to show I can fly

Flying away

I'll make her see

That I'm gonna change the world

And still be the daughter she wants me to be

Could I fly away

With the wind on my side?

I hope that I'll fly

With them on my side
