Lyrics
a shot rang out across the forest
fear went falling own
i'm old enough to know
that this
was not a common sound
i reached inside my heart to find
others on that day
when i said goodbye to a dream that died
that september day
now i'm flyin high
and i'm not afraid for this dream to die
your mother your father
your friends your lies
are all staring you down
you could have gone on
picked up faked it and stayed on
for a very small price
and they look at you
with their faces
small and concerning
you gotta take your stand
cause your dream has gone down
like a sea plane in
a big black lake
now i'm flyin high
and i'm not afraid for this dream to die
and i'm gonna find that boy
i'm gonna find that boy
i'm gonna find that boy
