“Bent to Fly” was released as the second single off the album. The song is about him telling his mother that he is going his own way in life. No matter how hard it can be for his mother, he has to spread his wings and fly away from his mother.
[Verse 1]
Mama, don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer
The time has come to find
A distant calling
That only seems to get much stronger
And I know it's hard
To see the one you come to lean on make his way
Far beyond the womb
But I can't stay
[Chorus]
I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly
[Verse 2]
Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost
I promised I would stay
Forevermore
But every boy in time moves on
Your wounds will heal someday
This I know
But I am restless and so torn
Mama, I can't stay here anymore
[Chorus]
I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly
[Bridge]
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
Gotta say my last goodbye
(Mama, don't you cry)
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Mama, don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer
[Chorus]
I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly
Hey
[Outro]
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye
