Bent to Fly (Live at The Roxy, 25/9/14)

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 runnin' and I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is callin' and the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 runnin' and I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling and the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
(Mama, I'm bent to fly)

[Post-Chorus]
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
Gotta say my last goodbye
Mama, I'm bent to fly
Oh-oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Mama, don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer

[Chorus]
I won't stop runnin' and I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is callin' and the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly
Whoa
Mama, I'm bent to fly
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh

[Post-Chorus]
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye
