X-Y - Flying

Ever since I was a child,
I spent so much time staring at the sky,
that my mother said: "Son, you should live on a plane!"
The year after I graduated,
I proudly joined the Air Force as I planned.
Made my way to the top,
easier than I thought...

I am flying, (like in my dreams).
At high speed, (above the sea)
It is frightening to feel so free...

Now I'm a father and I'm raising my child,
He spends so much time staring at the sky,
and I'm asking him: "Son, do you want to fly like me?"
I've travelled all around the world,
Succeeded in all my missions, even the worst.
I am done with that,
Now I am retired...

I was flying, (like in my dreams).
At high speed, (above the sea)
It was frightening to feel so free...

You've got to know that this life can be short,
I almost died up there so many times.
But I chose to follow my dreams,
'cause passion is stronger than anything!

I was flying, (like in my dreams).
At high speed, (above the sea)
It was frightening to feel so free...
