He dreamed of higher ceilings
They tried to ground his feeling
But there's a higher place to go

Some try to stop and fake it
But fate is what we make it
The height, the fall the risk he will take

He will take
He will take

I could show you the world he cried
Pick me up, pick me up, pick him up and I'll fly
I could show you the world from high
Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly

You can't control what you don't know
You can't control what you don't know

Their telling him to go slow
Back up from the window
You can see that it's a long way down

But he wears a cape with knowing
The hunger spark is glowing
His vision of the flight will grow

It will grow
It will grow

I could show you the world he cried
Pick me up pick me up pick him up and I'll fly
I could show you the world from high
Cause I'm the boy who wants to fly

He said nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
He said

I could show you the world he cried
Cause I'm that boy that wants to fly
I could show you the world he cried
Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly

I could show you the world he cried
Pick me up pick me up pick him up and I'll fly
I could show you the world from high
Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly
