Chorus:
I want to fly
Can you take me far away

Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high

I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings

And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down


Verse 1:
My first year of highschool, I got my first pair

Speedo jammer blue stripes.
I said, coach, this suit right here, it's gonna make me win.
So I jumped in the pool, and when I kicked, and when I pulled, I swear I swam so fast.

I was a ship, I was a fish, now I'll never finish last. Not a day I couldn't wait, to suit myself and race.
First meet of the season, got up got up on the block.
But they had LZRs, FS3s, caps all aqua V's.

But ain't nothin' gon stop me, I wanted them to see.
I dove in with a splash, I could slide through all the waves.
And I felt the water pass and I finished to the wall.

Man I tried so hard, using every last drop.
Gave everything I got, but guess my best just ain't enough.
I was last, man I finished dead last.

Prick in lane 4 asked me how does losin' taste, so I beat him beat him down and took an ish all on his face.

(Chorus)

I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high

My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings

I bought these dreams
That all fall down


Verse 2:
The cap came next,
Came in a plastic pack,

Shiny black, the smell, the silicone, that speed.
But next meet warmin up,swimmers told me to give up,
To my face they said I sucked, but I ain't give.

I used their hate, to motivate, to fuel my race.
In lane 8, I'm in the lead, and I'm tryin to hold on. Before the rest get to the wall, mane I'm already done.
10 seconds under state, I showed the whole world up.

I'm so happy, I'm alive, I hug my coach and cry.
He told me never give up, ain't no limits if you try.
He taught me to fight, be brave, no matter what they say.

To throw my limits past the sky,and set all my doubts aside.
Now I'm walkin' through the locker rooms, get nothin' but respect,
Now they talkin', now they askin', ain't know nothin' bout me, who's this new kid, where he from, how'd he get so fast?

How'd he get top seed, ain't he 'posed to be last?

(Chrorus)

I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high

My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings

I bought these dreams
That all fall down


Verse 3:
Got my black Aqua V, mirrored FS3's, LZR elite and I'm still top seed on the heat sheet.
Ain't no one can beat me. Cuz I put in the work...

I put in the pain, lifted them weights, and ran in the rain.
I crushed those sets, and I swam with no regrets.
I left it all in the pool, the sweat blood and tears I shed.
Morning workout 6 AM, while the rest you still in bed.
And now I give all you swimmers this message to spread. Wipe yo tears from yo eyes, get yo get yo from the ground. Don't give up on the fight, I'm a living testimony why.


Outro:
Yeuh, that's right. This to ssc... this to Norman north.. Don't ever give up, don't ever give up, don't ever give up...
