Dreamin' about flyin' since I was a boy 
Never thought I'd see the real mccoy 
I think it's safe to say 
I finally found a way 

Gonna fly away 
Gonna fly away 

Every day I've been looking in the sky 
Hope it's not raining when I start to fly 
I bet you think I'm strange 
Wait until I'm changed 

Gonna fly away 
Gonna fly away 

Where you gonna be when the trumpet blows? 
All that's left of me is gonna be my clothes 
I'd really like to see 
You flyin' next to me 

Gonna fly away 
Gonna fly away
