[00:12.18]My father was a farmer
[00:16.97]But his head was in the sky
[00:22.25]He worked everyday but Sunday
[00:25.51]'Til the day he died
[00:32.77]He prayed for rain and thunder
[00:37.43]And listened for the sound
[00:42.51]In the dry years he went under
[00:45.86]He never got off the ground
[00:49.43]
[00:53.11]We all dream when we're younger
[00:58.36]That we will do great things
[01:02.90]Me, I used to have a hunger
[01:05.87]To wear a pilot's wings
[01:08.80]
[01:30.26]But the circle's that I ran in
[01:35.51]Turned my head around
[01:40.21]And the planes I had my plans in
[01:43.43]Never got off the ground
[01:46.27]
[01:49.78]Don't raise your hopes
[01:52.08]You hear so many say
[01:54.69]The higher they get
[01:56.76]The closer they are to flying away
[02:05.03]Fly away..
[02:11.26]
[02:32.34]Don't raise your hopes
[02:34.56]You hear so many say
[02:37.13]The higher they get
[02:39.03]The closer they are to flying away
[02:49.00]
[02:50.69]They say there but for fortune
[02:55.06]Is the way it would have been
[03:00.06]If we could take a bigger portion
[03:03.24]We'd fill our hands again
[03:10.62]You see them on the sidewalks
[03:15.35]In the parks all over town
[03:20.76]Those who've taken flight
[03:23.53]Never got off the ground
