Paper Wings

For all of the life I’ve lived

So much I have not seen 

Is everyone in waitful bliss 

To be lifted off their feet

It’s no secret 

For we all long to be free

Fly away, fly away 

In our paper wings

Where we’re going nobody really knows

But we all trip over each other to get there

Nobody’s got the time to wait in line

What’s the point in trying to play fair

Everybody’s getting old 

And everyone is so tired 

Because the earth’s polluted 

And the world is full of liars

According to you, according to this concrete

Our lives are but shadows 

All dust, awaiting some dying dream

Well it’s no secret 

For we all long to be free

Fly away, fly away 

In our paper wings

And I know it’s bad advice 

But I accept it without question 

No one knows where to go 

We’ve all lost our sense our direction 

Everybody’s getting old 

And everyone is so tired 

Because the earth’s polluted 

And the world is full of liars

If I were to say goodbye 

To this dream, yeah to this life 

Would I welcome the escape 

And let my paper wings 

Fly me away 

Cuz this life is not enough 

No it will never be enough 

Would I welcome the escape 

And let my paper wings 

Fly me away 

The earth’s polluted and the world is full

The earth’s polluted and the world is full

The earth’s polluted and the world is full of liars
