Awake.
Wake up every morn.
After taking a beating.
To come home torn.
And make.
Make another mistake.
Sitting silently dreaming:
"What will it take?"
CHOURUS:
Why don't we fly a little higher?
And don't look down.
We'll break the rules and start the fire.
So come on now.
Why don't we fly a little higher?
And don't look down.
We'll break the rules of our deniers!
Persist.
Carry on and exist.
Don't go quiet regretting all you missed.
And some...
Someday you will look back
You'll lose track
Of time that you wasted away.
CHOURUS:
Why don't we fly a little higher?
And don't look down.
We'll break the rules and start the fire.
So come on now.
Why don't we fly a little higher?
And don't look down.
We'll break the rules of our deniers!
Persist.
Carry on and exist.
Don't go quiet regretting all you missed.
Awake!
It's no good to dream away.
If you think that your moving
While your standing still.
CHOURUS:
Why don't we fly a little higher?
And don't look down.
We'll break the rules and start the fire.
So come on now.
Why don't we fly a little higher?
(Why don't we?)
And don't look down.
(Why don't we fly a little high?)
We'll break the rules of our deniers!
(Why. Don't. We. Why don't we fly?)
