[Verse 1]

Mama, don't you cry

Don't you worry

I cannot stay here any longer

The time has come to find

A distant calling

That only seems to get much stronger

And I know it's hard

To see the one you come to lean on make his way

Far beyond the womb

But I can't stay

[Chorus]

I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer

To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by

Mama, I'm bent to fly

[Verse 2]

Remember yesterday

Before the storm

Before the innocence was lost

I promised I would stay

Forevermore

But every boy in time moves on

Your wounds will heal someday

This I know

But I am restless and so torn

Mama, I can't stay here anymore

[Chorus]

I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer

To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by

Mama, I'm bent to fly

[Bridge]

I can feel it coming

A perfect storm is rising

Gotta say my last goodbye

(Mama, don't you cry)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Mama, don't you cry

Don't you worry

I cannot stay here any longer

[Chorus]

I won't stop running, I'm only getting closer

To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by

Mama, I'm bent to fly

Hey

[Outro]

I can feel it coming

A perfect storm is rising

I gotta say my last goodbye
