Onc eI 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.
