I Decided to Fly

I remember long ago

Blowing bubbles on the Lisburn Road

How then could I know

Well I was young before I was old

I remember on the bridge

In a place they said was privileged

Watching the boats go up and down

I was attached and detached from my terrible town

And I decided to fly

Oh I decided to try

I remember long ago

Lived in a house on Whitebeam Road

The summers came as they go

I spend my life carrying granite stone

My mother, father, brother, three

Another one and that made me

I cut my shin and looked up high

Something deep told me that I

I decided to fly

Oh I decided to try

I remember long ago

I grew up in the South Seas

The horizon so far away

Now it's become a part of me

I decided to fly

I decided to try

I decided to fly

You and I decided to try

I decided to fly

You and I decided to try
