[Verse 1]
Floating up to the surface
I can feel the pounding in my chest
This has to be my last breath
When I saw the light, I ran for my life
Yeah, I knew this wasn't the end
It was just the beginning

[Pre-Break]
All skinned up, by the time I reach the top
Still somehow I couldn't shake you off
And now you got me pinned
Like I'm hanging over a pride rock

You think you've got me now
But I ain't looking down
Now get your hands off
Get your hands off me
'Cause when I fall, I'm gonna fly

[Break]
I'm gonna fly

[Verse 2]
Just when you thought you've gotten away
They're telling you, you've gone the wrong way
They'll try to clip your wings and attach those puppet strings
No matter the cost, no matter the price
I've tasted too much of this paradise
I'm gonna be free, gonna be the bird I was meant to be
Pulling stunts like an F-15
Addicted to the feeling like it's nicotine
You light the match and I'll pour that gasoline
[Pre-Break]
You think you've got me now
But I ain't looking down
Now get your hands off
Get your hands off me
'Cause when I fall, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly

Into the atmosphere
Nowhere to go but up from here
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
But up from here

[Break]
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly

[Outro]
When I saw the light, I ran for my life
Yeah, I knew this wasn't the end
It was just the beginning
