[Chorus: Goapele, Sa-Ra]
For you, I'd leave
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away)
For you, I'd leave
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away)
[Verse 1: Goapele]
Every night before I sleep
I try to find you in my window
But you're so very far away
I know everyone can see you
But I look at you different
Sometimes I wish you'd shine for me
[Pre-Chorus: Goapele]
Oh, I
I can feel you
I can't touch you
It's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you
When I see you
You know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you
I'd always have to share you
[Chorus: Goapele, Sa-Ra]
For you (You), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away) (Oh)
For you (For you), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away)
[Verse 2: Goapele]
The sun won't set until you come
I wish I could be the one
You pull in like a tide for the sea
You disappear, I wonder why
And I can't wait 'til day is night
It's not the same when you're not here
[Pre-Chorus: Goapele]
Ooh, I
I can feel you
I can't touch you
It's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you
When I see you
You know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you
I'd always have to share you
[Chorus: Goapele, Sa-Ra]
For you (You), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away) (I'd fly away)
For you (For you), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away) (I'd fly away)
For you (For you), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away) (I'd fly away)
For you (For you), I'd leave (I'd leave)
I'd fly away (Baby, just fly away)
[Outro: Goapele]
And now the sun is setting
The stars are almost shining
All day I sit and wait for the moon

I would like to see people become more rebellious, uh, more outspoken, um, and see an abolition, really, of the fear that covers this country like a blanket. Because I think that when people fight against that fear, they become themselves and they find themself, they find the best part of themself
