REPEAT SAME CHORDS
Years, they go by slowly. The innocence we had then was lost.
I stopped believing in daydreams that once had the power of the cross.
I stopped believing in magic, in being silly and having fun.
Now I live in a world where, problems are solved with guns. I live in reality, that sometimes makes me cry. And I cant climb over the sorrow, cause I forgot how to fly, yeah I forgot how to fly.
One day I looked up to see, a little boy who looked a lot like me.
Id watch his eyes light up, as I read him bedtime stories,
Then I would watch him sleep, innocent and without worries.
Id watch him in the backyard, playin out on the grass. First he was a tornado, then a wizard in a castle of glass.
I saw him from the kitchen window and a smile crept across my face,
As I watched him spread his arms, and soar right through space.
I sat down at a table, and I started to crybecause my little boy, had taught me how to fly.
Yeah I remembered how to fly, A child had taught me to fly, Yeah my boy taught me to fly.
