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 world but I can't stay 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 (Oh I'm bent to fly) Remember yesterday Before the storm Before the innocence was lost I promised I would stay forever more 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 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 I can feel it coming A perfect storm is rising Gotta say my last goodbye (Mama, I'm bent to fly) Oh Mama, don't you cry Don't you worry I cannot stay here any longer 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, oh But mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah, hey, hey, yeah! I can feel it coming A perfect storm is rising I gotta say my last goodbye
