Given To Fly Lyrics By Pearl Jam

    he could’ve tuned in tuned in
    but he tuned out
    a bad time nothing could save him
    alone in a corridor waiting locked out
    he got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles
    he made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
    the wind rose up set him down on his knee
    a wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
    delivered him wings hey look at me now
    arms wide open with the sea as his floor
    oh power oh

    he’s flying
    whole
    high wide oh

    he floated back down cause he wanted to share
    his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    but first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
    by faceless men well fuckers
    he still stands
    and he still gives his love he just gives it away
    the love he receives is the love that is saved
    and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    a human being that was given to fly

    he’s flying
    whole
    high wide oh
