Lyrics[Piano intro]

[Verse 1]
A flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
That's how you think of love

[Verse 2]
And I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly away
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
They fly on
[Verse 3]
A flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke I'm turned and rise
Following 'em up

[Verse 4]
Still, I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive
Next you know, they're gone
They fly on
Fly on
Oh ohhhh

[Bridge]
So fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I can fly with you
Fly on
Fly on
Fly on

[Ambient outro]
Don't ever let go
Don't ever let go
Don't ever let go
Don't ever let goYou might also like
