V1
I was watching TV
A documentary on the economy
It's sad cus people are losing jobs
And they're givin up
And hope is but a word
That holds no strength, no hold
No ground, no dreams
No reason to believe that change will come
And maybe it's time for a reconnection
To what matters the most a revelation
Of the mind a disease that opens your eyes
Cus now your life savings is toast
And banks are refusing to give you a loan
Green's that thing that grows greed on trees
What we need is love
So break yourself from the chains that hold thee

Hook
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day
And you can
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day

Retro rap
Sometimes my mind sway I feel like flying away
Though the sky is kinda gray I'm still shining today
Ain't no disposition with my soul out of place
I'd rather flow to the bass and put my soul on a tape
Rock and roll with the breaks for the emotion it takes
And though most of em fake I'm still holding my faith
In the most high, keeping him close by believing
Rhyming for a reason in the signs of the season
Together as a whole we can rock the whole globe
But if you from the hood you ain't taught that goal
A lot of em wanted to but couldn't even vote
If you want some negativity you got to go
I am telling you something you got to know
Fly away with me we'll do the impossible
Fly away with me we'll do the impossible
Fly away with me we'll do the impossible and go

Hook
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day
And you can
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day

Oh don't worry cus the day is just one you have already won
Just wait and see for those who have struggled there is more to come
So fly, fly away
Just fly away

Hook
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day
And you can
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day

Bridge 2
Fly away, fly away, fly away-ay-ay
Fly away, fly away, fly away-ay-ay
You wanna fly away, I wanna fly away
We can fly away-ay-ay
You wanna fly away, I wanna fly away
We can fly away-ay-ay
Yeah yeah

(Ad-libs)
Hook
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray
Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day
And you can
Fly, fly, fly away
Away from misery and pain
Even if the skies are gray




Say what you wanna say
Tomorrow might be a good day
