Lyrics
The path to work, aint' along one,
I go the same way everyday,
How could I never notice, the man-hidden beneath the blackest page
The daily times, cover him,
protects his sun worn eyes, I knelt so I could ask him, this man-hidden beneath the blackest page
Chorus
I'm gonna fly high tonight, And in my mind, I'm on my way,
I'm gonna fly high tonight, Leave this life behind, I'm on my way
Verse 2
Hey old man can I help you?
How long since, you've seen a bath?
How could I never notice, this man hidden beneath the blackest page
I felt the medal pinned to his coat
For Blood shed North of Da Nang
I knelt so I could ask him, this man-hidden beneath the blackest page
Chorus
I'm gonna fly high tonight, And in my mind, I'm on my way,
I'm gonna fly high tonight, Leave this life behind, I'm on my way
Bridge
On this day his war is over
His ghosts and memories will fade
Not a soul really gave a damn, As his life slips away
Chorus
I'm gonna fly high tonight, And in my mind, I'm on my way,
I'm gonna fly high tonight, Leave this life behind, I'm on my way
Repeat and fade
I'm gonna fly high tonight, And in my mind, I'm on my way,
I'm gonna fly high tonight, Leave this life behind, I'm on my way
