Lyrics

0:11Once I flew
0:14And it made my fingertips sing
0:19I was more like a God than a king
0:26Now I can't believe that was true
0:35Once I flew
0:38Though you don't believe me I know
0:43You look where I'm standing now
0:49You can't believe I left the ground
1:00Look up to the bright blue sky
1:06Can't you feel life passing by
1:12If you could wouldn't you
1:16Try to soar over everything
1:22All the pain this world can bring
1:28Once I flew now I've lost my wings
1:34Now I'm down here with you
1:40Now I'm down here with you
1:46Once I flew
1:49And the angels were my friends
1:55They would grant my every whim
2:01Now I can't believe that was true
2:10Once I flew
2:13Though it's easy to forget
2:19I don't seem to have managed yet
2:25And I don't think I ever will
2:35Look up to the bright blue sky
2:41Can't you feel life passing by
2:47If you could wouldn't you
2:51Try to soar over everything
2:57All the pain this world can bring
3:03Once I flew now I've lost my wings
3:09Now I'm down here with you
3:15Now I'm down here with you
3:51And in my dreams I am happy again
4:03You're in my arms and we're flying again
4:13Flying away
Once I flew
And it made my fingertips sing
I was more like a God than a king
Now I can't believe that was true
Once I flew
Though you don't believe me I know
You look where I'm standing now
You can't believe I left the ground
Look up to the bright blue sky
Can't you feel life passing by
If you could wouldn't you
Try to soar over everything
All the pain this world can bring
Once I flew now I've lost my wings
Now I'm down here with you
Now I'm down here with you
Once I flew
And the angels were my friends
They would grant my every whim
Now I can't believe that was true
Once I flew
Though it's easy to forget
I don't seem to have managed yet
And I don't think I ever will
Look up to the bright blue sky
Can't you feel life passing by
If you could wouldn't you
Try to soar over everything
All the pain this world can bring
Once I flew now I've lost my wings
Now I'm down here with you
Now I'm down here with you
And in my dreams I am happy again
You're in my arms and we're flying again
Flying away
