Lyrics:

He could've tuned in tuned in 
But he tuned out 
A bad time nothing could save him 
Alone in a corridor waiting locked out 
He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles 
He made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree 
The wind rose up set him down on his knee 

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw 
Delivered him wings "Hey look at me now" 
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor 
Oh power oh 

He's flying 
Whole
High wide, oh 

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share 
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere 
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed 
By faceless men, well, fuckers 
He still stands 

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away 
The love he receives is the love that is saved 
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky 
A human being that was given to fly 

High flying 
Oh, oh 
High flying 
Oh, oh 
He's flying 
Oh, oh
