I climbed the highest mountains I have crossed the seven seas I watched a soldier dying I've seen the killing fields
I have held the hand of devils But I let them pass me by 'cause I have found what's true to me I found it deep inside
And now I fly in the sky, flying high Like a bird without a home, I belong to me alone You're asking me Where do I go? I don't know In the end we're all the same What remains of the game Are ashes in the wind
I once had gold and silver But I lost it long ago Today my fortune lies in something Noone ever bought
I don't need a house with swimming pool Don't need a diomand ring Got enough to make a living And the rest don't mean a thing 'cause I can fly
Fly in the sky, flying high ...
Comes a day, skies are sad and grey I won't hide away my frustration Grab my things, spread my pair of wings Leave the troubles on the ground I won't come down
There once was a rich man Had more than he could spend He died of fear of losing it It was no happy end
There once was a sailor His whole life on the sea He lived and he was happier Than you could ever be, living free
