Threw all my possessions in an old suitcase Couldn't tell my wanting from my waste Took the elevator to the fifty seventh floo Tucked my chin and barreled through the door Threw open the window pane and tossed it off the ledge Watched the pieces scatter out and this is what I said I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind I'll find it ♪ Headed for the airport in an early morning cab The sunrise split the skyline right in half A quiet conversation I told him of my plan He wished me luck and quickly shook my hand Now I'm standing on the side of the road just staring at the sky Waiting on the sound of jets to leave the ground behind I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind Dream that's in my mind Dream that's in my mind Somewhere some kid stays awake at night lying on his bed Dreaming of another world with rockets in his head I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind ♪ I want to see something fly I want to see something fly I want to see something fly
