Flying high, touch the sky Going to places I never knew So goodbye And hello, long ago I can see history Standing still, a mystery If you will pardon me I'm away for the day Feels so good to be soaring 'Cause LA was so boring Goodbye There must be room for growing Somewhere else and I'm going Goodbye The days and nights have gone dry The last three whole years have flashed by
