Growing up in a small town in Texas, 

 

G C9 G Em7

 

A little town but I had big dreams 

 

G C9 G

 

And I was small but I had imagination, 

 

Em7 D G

 

the world was what I wanted it to be.

 

G C9 Em7 D G

 

I used to race sports cars, on my training wheeled bike. 

 

G C9

 

I never really won the race 

 

Em7 D G

 

but I put up a good fight. 

 

G C9 

 

And I was just in kindergarten, 

 

Em7 D G

 

so I didnt really like girls, 

 

G C9

 

And I still thought my father , 

 

Em7 D G

 

lit up the whole world. 

 

G C9 Em7 D G

 

On the playground at recess, my buddies and I. 

 

G C9 Em7 D G

 

I was always the leader, cause I knew how to fly, 

 

Em7 D G

 

yeah I knew how to fly. 

 

REPEAT SAME CHORDS

 

Years, they go by slowly. The innocence we had then was lost. 

 

I stopped believing in daydreams that once had the power of the cross. 

 

I stopped believing in magic, in being silly and having fun. 

 

Now I live in a world where, problems are solved with guns. I live in  reality, that sometimes makes me cry. And I cant climb over the sorrow,  cause I forgot how to fly, yeah I forgot how to fly. 

 

One day I looked up to see, a little boy who looked a lot like me.

 

Id watch his eyes light up, as I read him bedtime stories, 

 

Then I would watch him sleep, innocent and without worries.

 

Id watch him in the backyard, playin out on the grass. First he  was a tornado, then a wizard in a castle of glass. 

 

I saw him from the kitchen window and a smile crept across my face, 

 

As I watched him spread his arms, and soar right through space.

 

I sat down at a table, and I started to crybecause my little boy, had  taught me how to fly.

 

Yeah I remembered how to fly, A child had taught me to fly, Yeah my boy  taught me to fly.
