See Something Fly - Chris Trapper

Threw all my possessions in an old suitcase 
Couldn't tell my wanting from my waste 
Took the elevator to the fifty seventh floo 
Tucked my chin and barreled through the door 
Threw open the window pane and tossed it off the ledge 
Watched the pieces scatter out and this is what I said 

I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind 
I'll find it 

Headed for the airport in an early morning cab 
The sunrise split the skyline right in half 
A quiet conversation I told him of my plan 
He wished me luck and quickly shook my hand 
Now I'm standing on the side of the road just staring at the sky 
Waiting on the sound of jets to leave the ground behind 

I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind 
Dream that's in my mind 
Dream that's in my mind 

Somewhere some kid stays awake at night lying on his bed 
Dreaming of another world with rockets in his head 

I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind 
I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly 
I want to see something fly
