I thought as a child I'd feel like an eagle Rain on the windscreen I'm captured in technical solitude [Chorus] Fly, the higher I am The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky And all the words unspoken you told me Soon they'll fade away Riding on top of the clouds Up into the gleaming gold of an afternoon I set my controls for the heart of the sun To reach for the stratosphere [Chorus] Time's never been on our side The haze between d**h or alive Revealing the secrets of life I'll fly to the grievous light
