I used to know a girl who had a dream
Her head full of ambition, her heart filled with pain
Walking the same walk, seeing the same faces
Wishing she could trade places

Maybe I could fly away, she'd say
"Even though time's moved on, I still feel the same"

And I wanna be happy, and I wanna find my way
And I wanna run free, and I wanna fly away

Every good thing comes at a price
Sometimes you just gotta melt the ice
It's not a question of when, just how
And after all this time I've found

That I wanna be happy and I wanna find my way
And I wanna run free, and I wanna fly away
I wanna be happy and I wanna find my way
And I wanna run free, and I wanna fly away

It may take time to find my feet
"You'll get there sometime", they say to me

But I wanna be happy and I just wanna find my way
And I wanna run free, and I wanna fly away
I'm gonna be happy, and I wanna find my way
And I, I'm gonna run free, and I, I'm gonna fly away
I'm gonna be happy, and I wanna find my way
And I, I'm gonna run free, I'm gonna fly away
I wanna be happy, I wanna fly away
I wanna run
