Sun comes up then goes away
So does graduation day
You did your walk of fame and that was it
She turns to me like we're alone
Inside a secret telephone
Says the words that no one else can hear

She said I paid attention to myself
I found that I was someone else
Once a child but now I've grown within
So I'm packin' all these golden years
I let them go without a tear
I let them go and this is what she said
She says to me

Said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly, away from here"
She said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly, away"

Celebration through the night
Circle round this firelight
I guess this pack of wolves will pass for friends
Sayin', "Who's that comin' up to me?"
Hope and opportunity
You better grab it fast, grab it fast,
Hope it never ends

Said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly, away from here"
She said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly away"

Oh this whisper,
Said whisper it, but I feel it, oh

Oh, if day is night then night is day
Which one took your love away?
Which one will you use?
Which one will you use?
Oh mama, who's that comin' up to me?
Hope and opportunity
You better grab it fast
Grab it fast and hope, hope

I said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly, away from here"
She said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly away"
She said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly away from here"
She said,
"I, I believe that everyone can fly away"
