Flight Songtext

von Sutton Foster

Sutton Foster and Megan McGinnis: Flight

Let me run through a field in the night
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight.

Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea.
Wish me on my way

Through the dawning day I...
Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow, wanna grow
On the side of a hill.

I don't care if the train runs late
If the checks won't clear
If the house blows down.

I'll be off where the weeds run wild
Where the seeds fall far from this
Earthbound town.

And I'll start to soar!
Watch me rain til I pour out!
I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray
Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obbey time
Time flying away!
Flight!
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Let me leave behind
All the clouds in my mind I
Wanna wake without wondering why
Finding myself for a burst for the sky!
Flight!
Flight!

I'll just roll!
Let me lose all control I
Wanna float like a wish in a well
Free as the sound of the sea in a shell

I don't know
But maybe I'm just a fool

I should keep to the ground
I should stay where I'm at
Maybe everyone has hunger like this
And the hunger will pass
But I can't think like that

All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere)
There's a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide

And I have such a river inside!
Let me run through a field in the night!
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight!
Let me sway like the shade of a tree!
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea!
Wish me on my way! (wish me on my way)
Through the dawning day I...
Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill...
Wanna grow on the side of a hill...

Wanna shift like a wave going on
Wanna drift from the path
I've been traveling upon
Before I am gone.
