[Intro]
Bm E 4x
[Verse]
Bm
Mama, don't you cry
E
Don't you worry
Bm E
I cannot stay here any longer
Bm E
The time has come to find a distant calling
Bm E
That only seems to get much stronger
[Pre-chorus]
D F#
And I know it's hard
E
To see the one you come to lean on make his way
G
Far beyond the womb
D A
But, I can't stay
[Chorus]
Bm
I won't stop running
E
I'm only getting closer
Bm E
To getting off the ground this time
Bm E
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Bm E
Won't let this chance pass me by
Bm
Mama, I'm bent to fly
[Interlude]
Bm E 2x
[Verse]
Bm
Remember yesterday
E
Before the storm
Bm E
Before the innocence was lost
Bm E
I promised I would stay for evermore
Bm E
But every boy, in time, moves on
[Pre-chorus]
D F#
Your wounds will heal someday
E
This I know, but I am restless and so torn
G D A
Mama, I can't stay here anymore
[Chorus]
Bm
I won't stop running
E
I'm only getting closer
Bm E
To getting off the ground this time
Bm E
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Bm E
Won't let this chance pass me by
F#
Mama, I'm bent to fly

A perfect storm is rising
F# Bm
Gotta say my last goodbye

To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by

But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh

Mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
