Lyrics
FLYING OVER AMERICA
LOOKING DOWN FROM THE AIRPLANE
I CAN SEE THROUGH THE CLOUDS UP HERE
NOW THE SHADOWS ARE OUT OF RANGE
SAYING IT'S ALL RIGHT IT'S OKAY
IF I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH TODAY
-CHORUS-
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A VICTIM ANYMORE
I JUST WANT TO KEEP MY FEET FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE FLOOR
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A PUPPET IN YOUR SCHEMES
'CAUSE I'M JUST SITTING HERE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYBODY MEANS
I'VE MADE MISTAKES AND PAID THE PRICE
I'VE BENT THE RULES AND ROLLED THE DICE
AND I'VE HAD FRIENDS AND I'VE HAD FOE
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO LET THEM GO
SAYING IT'S ALL RIGHT IT'S OKAY
IF WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH TODAY
(CHORUS)
ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AS LIFE GOES RUNNING BY
UP AND DOWN AND INSIDE OUT THE TRACKS OF OUR MIND'S EYE
FACING THE WORST AND WASTE THE BEST IN LIFE WE SOON FORGET TO SMILE
BUT DON'T FORGET TO LIVE BEFORE YOU LIVE BEFORE YOU DIE A WHILE
(BACK TO CHORUS)
