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

A perfect storm is rising
E Am
Gotta say my last goodbye

I cannot stay here any longer
[Chorus]

I'm only getting closer
Am D
To getting off the ground this time
Am D
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by
Am D
But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
