Lyrics

he came and gave his own life for our sins
brought us a plan by which we all could live
he was persecuted and died on the cross
how can we repay what has no cost
still they laughed as they crucified him
and now i see the world is surrounded by greed of men
i don't know what going on with their heads
soon all creation will be destroyed

the greed of men surrounds you
every time you look around
don't care about gods creation
its too late we're learning now
look at the world that surrounds you
sell your soul for the pay
greed and power control you
you've no respect for life
i know that its wrong
how can we let it go on this way
if i could take off anywhere to the stars i'd make my escape

chorus
i wanna fly high to the sky
just to get away from the fear
i wanna fly high to the sky
just to get away from these men of greed

and now i hope that this world
changes the course its bound to take
there's nothing you can do for it
if not i'll make my escape

look at these strange new beings
here to show us the way
most of you will refuse them a chosen few will go
i know that its time
to let myself go and expand my mind
they'll take us off through this vast black sea
when we land i'll step out and take a breath of fresh air
