Mama don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer
The time has come
to find a distant calling
That only seems to get much stronger
And I know it's hard
To see the one you come
to lean on make his way
Far beyond the world but I can't stay
I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling the wind
is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly
Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost
I promised I would stay forever more
But every boy in time moves on
Your wounds will heal someday
This I know but
I am restless and so torn
Mama I can't stay here any more
I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling the wind
is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
Gotta say my last goodbye
Mama I'm bent to fly
Mama don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer
I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling the wind
is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly ohhhh
Mama I'm bent to fly
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye
