E Dsus2
My father was a farmer,
E Dsus2
but his head was in the sky.
E Dsus2
He worked every day but Sunday
E Dsus2
He prayed for rain and thunder,
E Dsus2
and listened for the sound.
E Dsus2
In the dry years he went under,
E Dsus2
We all dream when we're younger
E Dsus2
that we will to great things.
E Dsus2
Me, I used to have a hunger.
E Dsus2
But the circles that I ran in
E Dsus2
turned my head around,
E Dsus2
and the planes I had my plans in
C
Don't raise your hopes;
A
you hear so many say
C
"The higher they get,
G E Dsus2 A
the closer they are to fly-ing away."
E Dsus2 A
Fly high away!
C
Don't raise your hopes;
A
you hear so many say
C
"The higher they get,
G E Dsus2 A
the closer they are to fly-ing away."
E Dsus2
They say they're but for fortune,
E Dsus2
is the way it would have been
E Dsus2
if we could take a bigger portion,
E Dsus2
You see them on the sidewalks
E Dsus2
in the parks all over town;
E Dsus2
those who've taken flight,
E Dsus
but never got off the ground.
