Story behind the song
Wrote this song after watching a Lifetime Movie. Inspired me to see life from the characters view.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m gonna try to fly/ lift my arms and take off like an eagle
I’m gonna leave this place/ hit the clouds above and I’m gonna sore
I don’t know if I’ll make it/ Gotta be better than how I’m livin
Can’t understand what’s happenin’/ maybe somebody up there will get it
[Verse 2]
I’m gonna try to fly/I don’t care if its just for a moment
I’m gonna take a chance/don’t want to be in this place no more
Mama thinks she knows everything/ tellin’ me baby it’ll be ok
Don’t know if daddy is livin’/ maybe I’m just better off this way
[Verse 3]
I’m gonna try to fly/ look out the window and peer t’wards heaven
I’m gonna leap and do it/ain’t nowhere else to go but down
I done seen the bottom/ life’s to short to keep scrapping pavement
Anywhere’s got to be better/ better than what I’ve seen here lately
[Vamp]
Thinkin’ back when we were younger/ playin in the sand
Puppy love and we was holdin’ hands
Sippin from fountains then splashin the water
Knockin’ on doors until somebody caught us
And we were in the place where we should be
Yes we were in a place where we were free/ free to be
[Verse 4]
I’m gonna try to fly/ A fifty-fifty chance and I’m gonna take it
Anywhere’s got to be better/ better than what I’ve seen here lately
Leavin’ it all behind me/ droppin the bags, headin’ out of here
Movin’ one step closer/ pointin my fingers t’wards the atmosphere
[Vamp]
Thinkin’ back when we were younger/ playin in the sand
Puppy love and we was holdin’ hands
Sippin from fountains then splashin the water
Knockin’ on doors until somebody caught us
And we were in the place where we should be
Yes we were in a place where we were free/ free to be
[Verse 5]
Why am I tryin’ to fly/ may not be better on the other side
Maybe I’ll look at it different/ count my blessings and keep it movin
Maybe mama knows something/ maybe one day it’ll be okay
Maybe I’ll find my daddy/ He’ll give a reason why he ran away
[Refrain] Ran away
Why he ran away…
