Verse:
         C
 Well I guess that you probably know by now
 Am
 I was one who wanted to fly
              F                     G                  C
 I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven
        C
 And I wanted to go for every man
         Am
 Every child, every mother of children
              F                       G                       C
 I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars

         C
 And I prayed that I'd find an answer there
     Am
 Or maybe I would find a song
           F                   G                     C
 Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard
         C
 And for all of the ones who live in fear
     Am
 And all of those who stand apart
            F                     G                    C
 My being there would bring us a little step closer together

Chorus:
                      F
 They were flying for me
             G             C
 They were flying for everyone
                      F              G                    C
 They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
                     F
 They gave us their light
                      G                        Am
 They gave us their spirit and all they could be
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F            G         C
 They were flying for me

Bridge:
        F                     G
 And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way
      C            G        Am G
 And dance upon a falling star
              F                Dm              F                  G
 I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all

Verse:

             C
 Given the chance to dream, it can be done
       Am
 The promise of tomorrow is real
               F
 Children of spaceship Earth
      G                   C
 The future belongs to us all

Chorus:

 She gave us her spirit and all she could be

 She was flying for me
                       F
