Lyrics

Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna be there when we die?
I need some water
For the flower in my mind
Can you see the petals falling now?
Does temptation come within?
I think I'm flying
I'm flying on the first bird again
Heard it on the wind
And then I woke up in a daze
I heard some singing
And then desire called my name
Feel the ashes rise to make a whole
Inner clouds that pass you by
I think I'm flying
I'm gonna give my first bird a try
Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna be there for all time?
Ruffle the feathers
Don't let her take you up too high
And as we take a trip around the sun
What type of rockets do you sell?
I think I'm crying
I'm gonna give my first bird a bell
See the former Lily
See her future in my eyes
The mirrors are all smoking
Spare the rod and spoil the child
But I could never be without her love
Is it just comfort now or greed?
And if they're hungry
I'm gonna give the first bird a seed
Going west
Think I'm falling
Who's the first bird I'm calling?
Through the clouds, through the trees
Are they there? Are they looking at me?
Riding east, rowing south
On the rivers edge I saw her
Grab a net and spin back round again
But the tide is too alive for me
I'm praying to the stars up there
I think I'm flying
Through an old familiar air
Gotta keep, keep love inside
Gotta keep, keep love inside
Gotta keep, keep just flying on
Gotta keep, keep just flying on
Gotta keep, keep love inside
Gotta keep, keep love inside
Gotta keep, keep just flying on
Gotta keep, keep just flying on
I'm gonna fly on the first bird
I'm gonna fly on the first bird
I'm gonna fly on the first bird that comes my way
I'm gonna fly on the first bird
I'm gonna fly on the first bird
I'm gonna fly on the first bird that comes my way
