Once I flew 
And it made my fingertips sing 
I was more like a God than a King 
Now I can't believe that was true 

Once I flew 
Though you don't believe me I know 
You look where I'm standing now 
You can't believe I left the ground. 

Look up to the bright blue sky 
Can't you feel life passing by 
If you could wouldn't you 
Try to soar over everything? 
All the pain this world can bring 
Once I flew now I've lost my wings 
Now I'm down here with you 
Now I'm down here with you 

Once I flew 
And the angels were my friends 
They would grant me every whim 
Now I can't believe that was true 
Once I flew 
Though it's easy to forget 
I don't seem to have managed yet. 

And I don't think I ever will 

Look up to the bright blue sky 
Can't you feel the life passing by? 
If you could wouldn't you 
Try to soar over everything? 
All the pain this world can bring 
Once I flew now I've lost my wings 
Now I'm down here with you 
Now I'm down here with you. 

And in my dreams I am happy again 
You're in my arms and we're flying 
again, Flying away.
