Flying Away
Katie was just six years old
Still a little girl
But this little one
Knew she could take on the world
She knew deep in her heart
She could do it all
And she wasn't afraid to fail
She wasn't afraid to fall
And now...
She's flying away
Heading towards the day
To fulfill her all dreams
She'll have to go her own way
She's flying home
Don't worry bout her now
She's got her head in the clouds
But her feet are on the ground
She's flying away now
Katie just turned sixteen
Ready to leave home
Wanted to kiss her mom goodbye
Convinced she could make it on her own
She's ready to spread her wings
Get out of this small town
Throw her head up into the sky
While keeping her feet on solid ground
And now...
She's flying away
Heading towards the day
To fulfill her all dreams
She'll have to go her own way
She's flying home
Don't worry bout her now
She's got her head in the clouds
But her feet are on the ground
She's flying away now
Katie's lying on the ground now
The rain is pouring down
Her life is flashing before her eyes
She can't make sound
It wasn't supposed to go like this
She was going to make it
But her life is slowly going away
Everyone's hearts are breaking
And then the doctor comes into the room
All the crying, starts too soon
But there's nothing he can do
And now...
She's being carried away
Down the path towards her grave
She never fulfilled all her dreams
The world she left is now in pain
But she's flying home
No one worry now
She's flying in the clouds
No longer on the ground
She's flying away
Straight towards a new day
She's got different dreams now
She fulfill them all someday
She's flying away
Katie was just six years old
Still a little girl
But she was the one
Who convinced me to try and take on the world
