Hang Glider

I’ve never been hang gliding
But someday I will
I’ve got my wings ready for me
And I’m running up the hill
Leave all my problems below me
If only until
I run run run
Catch the wind
Send me up and away, yeah

I’ve never been hang gliding
But I know how it starts
My dreams propel me forward
Still something I need
An external force to carry me
Give me a start
But I run run run
It hasn't come
Is this why I’m sad today, yeah

I have been running for so long
My hands on the bar
My eyes on the prize in the sky
On land I am blind
All of the goodness around me
I cannot see
When I run run run
Waiting for things
I don’t need today, well

I’m a hang glider baby
watch out for me
I’m a hang glider baby
Still something I need
I’m a hang glider baby
no flight for me
when i run run run
Foot in a root
Crash and burn today, well

I’m a hang glider baby
Watch out for me
I’m a hang glider baby
No flight for me
