Somebody told me if you wanna make a difference
You must first do somethin' different
Try different levels, tryna be somethin' special
Grind and be somethin' greater than what these haters projected
Grow to be somethin' bigger and better than they expected
Pushin' it to the limit, seem like the money infinite
New spendin' habits, used to not have it to spend it with
When you ain't got it, ain't got nobody to struggle with
Lost some friends and relationships

Maybe if I
Knew better, I would do better
Find a family and make my crew better
Instead of givin' loyalty to whoever
Tired of dealin' with the hurt

Dear God make me a bird
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Dear God make me a bird
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Far, far away from here

Take me away because they don't want me to say this
Keep the love and take all the hatred
You give me courage to take it further
Guess I shouldn't complain 'cause I made it further than they did
Young man, I'm just a young man
Workin' every day to do what I can
Lord why you have to put me on this island?
I'm only hoping you would chime in

Maybe if I
Knew better, I would do better
Find a family and make my crew better
Instead of givin' loyalty to whoever
Tired of dealin' with the hurt

Dear God make me a bird
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Dear God make me a bird
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Far, far away from here

Can you take me away?
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away
Can you take me away?
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away

Dear God make me a bird (can you take me away?)
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Dear God make me a bird (can you take me away?)
So I can fly far (far)
Fly far (far)
Far, far away from here (far, far away from here)
Far, far away from here
