Lyrics

Hey look at all these people rushing off to work
Feeling that there’s something
But they don’t know what its for
They go about their business
Making money, wasting time
Trying to find the answers
And hoping everything is fine

I can’t see the reasoning for living life this way
They talk about their future as they watch it slip away
They live their lives as if they’re only living to survive
That’s not me, I’ve gotta learn to fly

They think they know the answers
Love your neighbors, trust in God
They try hard to believe it
As they’re building this facade
They’ve got the right intention
But they haven’t got a clue
And if you feel insulted
Then I’m talking about you

I can’t see the reasoning for living life this way
They talk about their future as they watch it slip away
They live their lives as if they’re only living to survive
That’s not me, I’ve gotta learn to fly

Now listen to these people
Talk about their lives
They try to find the answers
But they can’t see through their lies
They keep on working harder
Making money to be free
They may get the money
But the freedom they won’t see

I can’t see the reasoning for living life this way
They talk about their future as they watch it slip away
They live their lives as if they’re only living to survive
That’s not me, I’ve gotta learn to fly
That’s not me, I’ve gotta learn to fly
That’s not me, I’ve gotta learn to fly
