I can only hope I think too much
about what I seem to be to you
If the role I play's not good enough
then what am I supposed to do?

Just cut it out
and tell me now
Where do I fit in?
I'm always going nowhere
I never seem to win
and I don't want it all
Someday I wanna fly
Oh, can you take me up there?
I want to get up high
if just to rise and fall

I can only think I know too much
when I'm drifting out so far away
when what they end up wanting out
is so different from what they say

So cut it out
and tell me right now
Where do I fit in?
I'm always going nowhere
I never seem to win
and I don't want it all
Someday I wanna fly
Oh, can you take me up there?
I want to get up high
if just to rise and fall

My dreams light up the sky
They always burn so brightly
If I can learn to fly
then I can reach them all
I'm gonna learn to fly
For now, please take me up there
I want to get up high
and feel the thrill of the fall
