i used to know a girl, who had a dream
her head full of ambition, her heart filled with pain
walking the same walk, seeing the same faces
wishing she could, trade places
maybe i could fly away, she'd say
even though time's moved on,
i still feel the same
and i wanna be happy
and i wanna find my way
and i wanna run free
and i wanna fly away
every good thing comes at a price
sometimes you just gotta melt the ice
it's not a question of when, just how
after all this time, i've found
that i wanna be happy
and i wanna find my way
and i wanna run free
and i wanna fly away
i wanna be happy
and i wanna find my way
and i wanna run free
and i wanna fly away
it may take time to find my feet
you'll get there sometime, they say to me
but i wanna be happy
and i wanna find my way
and i wanna run free
and i wanna fly away
i'm gonna be happy
and i wanna find my way
and i, i'm gonna run free,
and i, i'm gonna fly away
