I always knew there was something about me, but I didn't know,
I didn't fit in or look like the others - I wasn't at home,
Everyone else was content on the ground, but I wanted to fly.

Higher, higher, higher,
Let me touch the heavens,
Higher, higher, higher,
Want to live forever.

I danced on the cliffs and the mountain, I played on the ledge,
I prayed for the wind to release me while testing the edge,
I'm tired of walking with wings on; now I want to fly.

Higher, higher, higher,
Let me touch the heavens,
Higher, higher, oh, higher,
Want to live forever.

Yeah, yeah,
Want to fly away.

Want to fly,
Want to fly.

It's thousands of feet down below me; the jagged rocks shine,
But I'm tired of hanging with mortals, I want my kind,
And those rocks will never touch me 'cause I'm gonna fly.

Higher, higher, higher,
Let me touch the heavens,
Higher, higher, higher,
I want to live, oh,
Higher, higher, higher,
Let me touch the heavens,
Higher, higher, higher,
I want to live forever.

Yeah,
I want to live forever.
Want to live, I can't fall, yeah,
Want to live.
