lyrics

You can make me fly away
I’m ready to die young, die young, now I’m ready to go
Come, come get Him
Come, come and get him
Come, come get him
Come.
In my hometown lives this small kid
who plays in the sand.
And he’s building a castle,
only using his small toys.

It’s High above the trees,
high enough to see what is missing.

You can make me fly away
I’m ready to die young, die young, now I’m ready to go
Come, come get Him
Come, come and get him
Come, come get him
Come.
In his playground he hears something
hidden in a shell.
The biggest storm he ever saw,
is coming straight at his hard work.

He’s running home, he screams
Giving up his dreams, what a failure he is.
what a failure he is.

When the raindrop fell on his head.
He looked up speaking to his mom
Please don’t cry.
It’s not your fault.
It’s not your fault.
if you’re son’s a failure.
if you’re son’s a failure.

You can make me fly away
I’m ready to die young, die young, now I’m ready to go
Come, come get Him
Come, come and get him
Come, come get him
Come.
