8. DREAMS OF FLYING
(CD1, Track 14, 3:25)

When I was a boy
I dreamed of flying
Left my troubles on the ground
I didn't need no wings
I levitated
My friends looked up as I looked down

I hovered high above the schoolyard
The kids won't pick on me no more
In fact they all want to befriend me
A freak celebrity for sure

Beyond the atmosphere
My dreams are soaring
A different view of Earth below
A vision I have seen
A new horizon
Into the future I will go

Shall we learn another lesson
Ever reaping what we sow
We have all had dreams of flying
A premonition don't you know

Now we dream in Earthly orbit
We've built a habitat in space
An exodus is just beginning
The future of the human race

When I was a boy
I dreamed of flying
