Father, tell me somethin' Where do bad men go when they die? And mother says you'll go there but Wings for her and I and I don't mind Cause I have always wanted to learn to... Fly...learn to Fly...learn to Fly...learn to Fly... Brother, tell me somethin' If I take this, am I going to die? And he says no, so then I figure what the hell I'll try cause it's my life So light the match and you and I will... Fly...learn to Fly...learn to Fly...learn to Fly... 'Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God, as my witness For all the trusts I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy 'Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar... And father tell your son It's not your gun and bloody hands Don't hide behind locked doors In dresser drawers those bullets wait to fly... Fly...wait to Fly...wait to Fly... wait to Fly... 'Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness And someday I'll be there I swear to you God, as my witness For all the trusts I've broke and Let justice know, it's just that easy 'Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
