Looking out the window, here in this place high up above
The world below me, everyone there having such fun
But I am stuck here, unable to move; unable to breathe
As I'm told what I must become; who I must be

Why do you always talk of the world outside, as if it's a dream?
What makes it better than what we have here, safe as can be?

I've decided that I'll soon fly away from here, to a better place
Because there's nothing more to say, after all
I just want to be free from this bitter pain
And there's just nothing more to say

You are always speaking of leaving this place, of being set free
Please listen to me, the world out there is not as it seems
'Cause I have been there; I know what it's like and it isn't safe
Come on, let's...

You don't know me, or how I feel...I have to get out

Wait, where are you going? Please come back, don't go away
Let's stay together, like we always have...please just stay

Finally, I have flown away from there; I'm off to a better place
There was nothing more to say, after all
I just needed to be free from that bitter pain
And there was nothing more to say

I am in a better place, but I must work hard each day
She's right, it's not what I had thought, after all
But I’m just happy to be free in this life I lead
Won't have it any other way
