[Verse 1]
Mama never cared much 'bout dreams or love
She said it reminded her of my Daddy
My Daddy
He loved to fly
He'd say

[Chorus]
"Death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to the sky
Love grows cold
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly"

[Verse 2]
Daddy's just the blood in my veins
Shadows in my mind
As I'd watch my Mama drown in her tears
He'd say
"I can't promise you love
And I can't promise you me"
In my heart of hearts
I yearn to fly
[Chorus]
And death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to sky
Love grows cold
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly
I want to fly
I yearn to fly

[Outro]
And death will come fast
Death will come fast
I yearn to fly
