So who are you to say what life is like, that life is good?
And I bet whoever said it never walked up in my hood
So I wish you would, and maybe you should

You should discover what is missing, since you misunderstood

Time and time again, they keep on messing with my head
So I cannot lie, a man go mess up now and then
I don't know why, yet still I try to find my way
I asked the preacher man to show me how to pray
And so I say

If I can fly away, I would fly away
I will fly away, oh glory
If I can fly away, I will fly away
Help me fly away, oh glory

So take me away
Where everything is okay
And tell me where I can go
Where only love is what we know
And I, I'll fly away
Into a place I can go
Where only love is what we know

It's so hard to keep it going when the going gets tough
And it's so hard to keep on trying when your best ain't good enough
No ifs and buts, all the who's, why's and what's
Man, who ever came up with this stuff?

But, never-the-less, just ask a friend what's in his head
And all the while you just might find that we forget
We're all the same, whether it's love, whether it's pain
Even the preacher man forgets how to pray some days
We say

If I can fly away, I would fly away
I will fly away, oh glory
If I can fly away, I will fly away
Help me fly away, oh glory

So take me away
Where everything is okay
And tell me where I can go
Where only love is what we know
And I, I'll fly away
Into a place I can go
Where only love is what we know

(So take me away)
Want, want, I want, want, I want, I want love
But what they know, what they know about love?
Want, want, I want, want, I want, I want love
'Cause it's all about love

So take me away
Where everything is okay
And tell me where I can go
Where only love is what we know
And I, I'll fly away
Into a place I can go
Where only love is what we know

So take me away
Where everything is okay

And tell me where I can go
Where only love is what we know

So who are you to say what life is like, that life is good?
Who are you to pass judgment on life and call it good?

And I bet whoever said it never walked up in my hood
I doubt the person who said that has ever come to my neighborhood

So I wish you would, and maybe you should
I wish and hope that you will one day understand

You should discover what is missing, since you misunderstood
Since you interpreted it wrongly, find out what's lacking in your understanding

Time and time again, they keep on messing with my head
Repeatedly they mess with my mind and conscience

So I cannot lie, a man go mess up now and then
I've got to confess, every now and then, a man errs

I don't know why, yet still I try to find my way
Even though I don't know why, I strive to figure things out

I asked the preacher man to show me how to pray
I asked the clergyman to help me learn how to pray

And so I say
And that's why I sing this next verse:

If I can fly away, I would fly away
If it were possible, I'd escape

I will fly away, oh glory
I'd leave, oh yaay

Help me fly away, oh glory
Assist me to depart, oh yaay

So take me away
Please transport me to...

Where everything is okay
A place where everything works out for the better

And tell me where I can go
And guide me to a location...

Where only love is what we know
Where we only encounter love

And I, I'll fly away
And there, I'll leave

Into a place I can go
To a destination I can manage and attend

It's so hard to keep it going when the going gets tough
When the situation worsens, it's tough to persevere

And it's so hard to keep on trying when your best ain't good enough
When you do your best but it's not sufficient, it's grueling to continue

No ifs and buts, all the who's, why's and what's
No justifications, everything about the situation is important

Man, who ever came up with this stuff?
Seriously, who came up with such conventions?

But, never-the-less, just ask a friend what's in his head
However, chat with a friend about what they're thinking

And all the while you just might find that we forget
During the chat, you may notice that we forget...

We're all the same, whether it's love, whether it's pain
Regardless of whether it's love or pain, we're all identical

Even the preacher man forgets how to pray some days
Occasionally, even the clergyman forgets how to pray

We say
We sing in unison:

Want, want, I want, want, I want, I want love
I desire love so much

But what they know, what they know about love?
What do they know and understand about love?

Cause it's all about love
Because everything revolves around love

So take me away
So please transport me to...

Where everything is okay
A place where everything works out for the better

And tell me where I can go
And guide me to a location...

Where only love is what we know
Where we only encounter love

And I, I'll fly away
And there, I'll leave

Into a place I can go
To a destination I can manage and attend

Where only love is what we know
Where we only encounter love
