[INTRO: DONNY HATHAWAY]
Hang on to the world as it spins around
Just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
[HOOK: ELL VIRTUOSO & JOVAN]
Away... Away, away, away
We will be free (We will, we will, we will), and we'll fly away (As we fly, we fly we fly!)
Away... Away, away, away
We will be free, and we'll fly away, yeah
[VERSE: JOVAN]
Bliss! I tend to reminisce
On the better days we had, I miss surely as a kid
Where was I hanging in the park along with all my neighbor friends
From down the block, and we was bad, but we were really innocent
But little did we know about the world we're living in
It wasn’t on our mind because we live in the moment
Because what we do after school is like our primary focus
And hoping momma was open to let us go & jump roping
Or riding our bikes, while we chasing, the ice cream truck
It was our luck, we had some change & a couple bucks
Man, I wish now I had that freedom now
We need em more in our lives - the younger inner child, wow
Yo, Is everything really a phase
Just like our seasons, our summer days are just going away
And we use to be amazed, now no hope for better days
But keep your head up & sometimes there are times you have to left up
We eff up, sometimes, and may I just remind
You have to see the beauty in these dandelions
And never let these stigmas get to you, you know they lying
You know that smiling is so necessary: Go and try it
There are no guarantees in life, so make the most of today
Don’t let the negative pull you astray (astray, astray)
So take some time, go ahead and break away
As we, fly, fly away, fly away, to our happy place
[HOOK: ELL VIRTUOSO & JOVAN]
Away... Away, away, away (Away)
We will be free (We will be free), and we'll fly away
Away... Away, away, away (Away)
We will be free, and we'll fly away, yeah
[VERSE: JOVAN]
Now I just say let me be free, and let me be me
And I just say let me be free, and let me be me
I wanna live my best life with no apologies
And obviously, that’s not a hard pill to swallow
I know that most of us would wanna be free and wallow
We give and then receive, be fed so we can’t feel no hollow
Let me ease away your troubles, we can all feel divine
Because the first change, change takes place into the mind
They say the wasted mind is a terrible thing when it’s unused
You know I’m sick of people tryna enforce their views on me..
But weren’t we all created equally?
Instead they push superiority, thinking they the majority
Compete with me? Or complete me in ways I cannot do alone
That’s the beauty of us, pieces like puzzles
It took one person just to raise their hand in class
And disagree with the teacher while the kids just laughed
I think there’s a lesson in that, something we.. can take away
Evolution wouldn’t happen if we’re all… just made the same
I think we’d all be free if we let ourselves be
And removing all the heartbreaks and the animosity
I know we tryna be strong, but at times you have to see
It’s ok to sit in the pain, and you know we all can grieve
So we can replenish our energies, and replenish our energies
And the, more that I say it.. It just, transforms to affirmations
[HOOK: ELL VIRTUOSO & JOVAN]
Away... Away, away, away
We will be free, and we'll fly away
Away... Away, away, away
We will be free, and we'll fly away, yeah
[OUTRO: ELL VIRTUOSO]
Freedom to fly, the fear of flight to the sky
Open your eyes, ascend and arise
Embrace your wings and fly
Freedom to fly, the fear of flight to the sky
Open your eyes, ascend and arise
Embrace your wings and glide
Embrace your wings and glide
Embrace your wings and glide
Embrace your wings and glide
Embrace your wings and fly
