So small and yet still so proud
At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds
A high-flyer is what I want to be
Seems they won't let me
Says I'm too small
I don’t feel small at all

Break my dreams
That’s what they’ll do
Well I’m gonna run away
And learn to fly like you
I'm gonna go so high
And swoop so low
You can't bring me down
I'm gonna be so proud!

Little angel, you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Little angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight

Push and shove, then climb aboard
This is a shuttle train to the top of the world
When you look around what do you see?
These are all high-fliers
None of these high-fliers look like me

What is that supposed to mean?
What am I supposed to be?

I pull my way up through this crowd
To find your body crushed on the ground
It's so obvious, why couldn’t you see?
That you can't go high-flying
Without a pair of high-flier wings

Little ones broken lying on the ground
Trying to get up, till his last breath out
Wings are strewn everywhere
There's blood all around
Cos even angels die, their light just fades
It's so sad, but he’d be so proud

Broken angel, you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Broken angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Get up and earn your wings
Earn your wings tonight
