Threw all my possessions in an old suitcase  Couldn't tell my wanting from my waste  Took the elevator to the fifty seventh floo  Tucked my chin and barreled through the door  Threw open the window pane and tossed it off the ledge  Watched the pieces scatter out and this is what I said    I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind  I'll find it    Headed for the airport in an early morning cab  The sunrise split the skyline right in half  A quiet conversation I told him of my plan  He wished me luck and quickly shook my hand  Now I'm standing on the side of the road just staring at the sky  Waiting on the sound of jets to leave the ground behind    I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind  Dream that's in my mind  Dream that's in my mind    Somewhere some kid stays awake at night lying on his bed  Dreaming of another world with rockets in his head    I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I'm hopelessly devoted to the dream that's in my mind  I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly  I want to see something fly
