He dreamed of higher ceilings
They tried to ground his feelings
But there's a higher place to go
Some treid to stop and fake it
But fate is what we make it
The height the fall the risk he will take

I can show the world he cried
Pick me up, pick me up, pick me up and I'll fly
I could show the world from high
'Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly

You can't control what you don't know
You can't control what you don't know

They're telling him go slow
Back up from the window
You can see that it's a long way down
He wears a cape with knowing

The hunger spark is glowing
His vision of the flight will grow

I can show the world he cried
Pick me up, pick me up, pick me up and I'll fly
I could show the world from high
'Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly

They say na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na he said

I can show the world he cried
'Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly
I can show the world he cried
'Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly, yeah

I can show the world he cried
Pick me up, pick me up, pick me up and I'll fly
I could show the world from high
'Cause I'm the boy that wants to fly
