Bent to Fly

[Intro]
Cm F 4x


[Verse]
Cm
Mama, don't you cry
F
Don't you worry
Cm                     F
I cannot stay here any longer
Cm                   
  The time has come to
     F
find a distant calling
Cm              
  That only seems
             F
to get much stronger


[Pre-chorus]
D#                    G
And I know it's hard
                        
  To see the one you come
    F
to lean on make his way
      G#
Far beyond the womb
     D#       A#
But, I can't stay


[Chorus]
  Cm
I won't stop running
                 F
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Cm   F
ground this time
     Cm                 
  The sky is calling, the
               F
wind is at my shoulders
                              Cm  F
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  Cm
Mama, I'm bent to fly


[Interlude]
Cm F 2x


[Verse]
Cm
Remember yesterday
F
Before the storm
Cm                       F
Before the innocence was lost
Cm                 
  I promised I would
     F
stay for evermore
Cm                            F
But every boy, in time, moves on


[Pre-chorus]
D#                              G
Your wounds will heal someday
                   
  This I know, but I
    F
am restless and so torn
      G#                D#  A#
Mama, I can't stay here anymore


[Chorus]
  Cm
I won't stop running
                 F
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Cm   F
ground this time
    Cm                  
  The sky is calling, the
               F
wind is at my shoulders
                              Cm    F
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  G
Mama, I'm bent to fly
