Oh fallen friends
Where have you gone to?
Did you see the world?
Did she break you down?
Or was she kind to you?
And of all those things
Those simple dreams
We thought would carry us through
Did a single one come true for you?
-We never got older
-We just lost our dreams
-Like birds in a storm
-Hid them away from the rain
-But summer will come and
-We’ll open our wings, yeah
-We will learn to fly again, I know
-We will learn to try again.
Then, I knew this guy
Thought himself a songsmith
And he worked most his life
Just to see how far along he could get
He couldn’t catch a break
So one day he just
Packed up and he quit and
Has ever since regretted it.
-But he never got older
-He just lost his dream
-Like birds in a storm
-Hid it away from the rain
-But summer will come and
-He’ll open his wings, yeah
-He will learn to fly again, I know
-He will learn to try again.
Then, I knew this girl
And she was my lover
And every chance I’d see
Was a chance I’d seize
To kiss and hug her
But hugs aren’t enough
When love isn’t love
And she left for another and
For months and months we both suffered.
-But we never got older
-We just lost our dream
-Like birds in a storm
-Hid it away from the rain
-But summer will come and
-We’ll open our wings, yeah
-We will learn to fly again, I know
-We will learn to try again.
But then that night comes
When we all must sleep
And even dreams can’t be dreamed
And ever breath can’t be breathed
But we will learn to fly again
Up from under the ground
We will make our ascent
We will learn to fly again
In the end.
