chorus 1 |
I Wanted to Fly, I wanted
to soar |
| |
I needed to find out what was outside
that locked door |
| |
I wanted to run. I had to be free |
| |
Love was the lock, the leash, the load
that weighed heavy on me |
| |
|
1. |
Daddy and I never saw eye to eye |
| |
He said, "Black." I said, "Why?" |
| |
He said, "Low." I said, "High." |
| |
He said, "Stay," and I said,
"Good bye." |
| |
'cause |

chorus 2 |
I Wanted to Fly, I wanted
to soar |
| |
I needed to find out what was outside
that locked door |
| |
I wanted to run. I had to be free |
| |
His love was the lock, the leash, the
load that weighed heavy on me |
| |
|
2. |
Sometimes we get old and never get wise |
| |
I saw anger in Daddy's eyes |
| |
I never saw love. I never saw pride |
| |
And it stayed that way till the day that
he died |
| |

(spoken): |
| |
Then one night, in a dream, Daddy said
to me |
| |
|
chorus 3 |
I knew you could fly. I knew you could
soar. |
| |
You already had the key to unlock that
door |
| |
I knew you could run. You were already
free. |
| |
Love was your heart, your soul, your wings.
You didn't need me. |
| |
|
| coda |
Love was your heart, your soul, your wings. |
| |
You never needed me. |
