Fear of falling

Last night I dreamt of flying
Over hillsides in the snow
And I dove down through the clouds
Into the valley there below
When the fields turned into parking lots
My freedom turned to dread
The ground rose up to greet me
And I jumped up out of bed

You can fly, fly, fly
Off to anywhere you choose
You can try, try, try
But eventually youll lose
It seems theres always something
Tryin to bring a good man down
I have no fear of falling
But I hate hitting the ground

Searchin through my sofa
Tryin to find some extra change
I thought that I knew everything
til everything changed
Now Im standing on an island
That is sinking into the sea
And all that I can do
Is just enjoy the scenery

Well, you can fly, fly, fly
Off to anywhere you choose
You can try, try, try
But eventually youll lose
They say a man hears sweet, soft music
Just before he drowns
I have no fear of falling
But I hate hitting the ground

You and I have politics
Theres lines that we dont cross
And we live happily ever after
Inside this little box
But you just cant take a lion
And throw him into a cage
And expect him to be thankful
For the shelter that you gave

You can fly, fly, fly
Off to anywhere you choose
You can try, try, try
But eventually youll lose
The more you try to cling to me
The less Ill stick around
I have no fear of falling
But I hate hitting the ground
