Lyrics

I Want You To Fly

I want you to fly

I want you to grow

I like you to get back

Whatever you lose

I want you to learn

What you wanna know

I like you to follow

The road that you choose

Ooh at the same time

I wanna hold on

Don't want you to go

I like to be near you

Whatever you do

I want us to hide (Ooh)

I want to let low (Ooh)

Doesn't make sense but (Ooh)

I wanna be you (Ooh)

I wanna be you (At the)

I want to be you (Same)

I want to be you (Time)

I wanna be you (At)

I wanna be you (The)

I wanna be you (Same)

I (Time)

I want us to hide

I want to let low

But doens't make sense but

I wanna be you

I want you to fly

So the cages open now

We take him fly to

Rising and falling like snow

In the nights

I'm feeling while a windy scene

Between my palms

I got my hands and the bird

Flies out

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

So the cages open now (Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh)

We take him fly to

Rising and falling like snow

In the nights

Rising and falling like snow

In the nights

Officially appears on

The lyrics are definitely not right in the second section:

So the cages open now ==> So the cage is open

We take him fly to ==> Now we takin' flight

and

I'm feeling while a windy scene ==> I'm feeling wire wing beats

Between my palms ==> in between my palms

I got my hands and the bird ==> I uncup my hands

Flies out ==> and the bird flies out

Thanks for you all do. :-)
