You'll miss your coat of ignorance
The day you wriggle free
And see that it was your defence
Against reality.
I'll tell you then I told you so,
I toId you to believe.
You wouldn't even listen, though.
You fought to be deceived.
It's only when you spread your wings,
You learn the price of everything!
The sky's a carrot dangling
In front of us, attached to strings!
It's only when you spread your wings
It's only when you spread your wings
It's only when you spread your wings
You learn it doesn't pay to try
To fly!
I know the fool you think I am,
I know that I'm maligned,
Because of how I give a damn
And dare to stay behind.
The reason isn't cowardice,
I simply understand
It isn't wise to make a wish
That's gonna make demands.
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
I can't save anybody else
Any more than I can save myself
It's only when you spread your wings,
You learn the price of everything!
The sky's a carrot dangling
In front of us, attached to strings!
It's only when you spread your wings
It's only when you spread your wings
It's only when you spread your wings
You learn it doesn't pay to try
To fly!
