Verse 1
G 
C 
Em 
G 
C 
G 
I hoped and I
prayed
Em 
C 
for some wings to fly
Em 
D 
Am 
G 
Never looked back, no time for goodbye
I just spread them out wide
C 
and I took to the sky
Em 
D 
Am 
Em 
And I flew where I didn't belong
D 
G 
C 
G 
C 
All in search of the sun
G 
The thing about a fool is
C 
he won't give up
D 
Leaves before he looks,
C 
G 
and he presses his luck
C 
He won't run from danger, he just stirs it
D 
Em 
And his failings just make him strong
D 
G 
And he writes another line of the song
C 
D 
A song about family, a song about war
G 
A song of redemption,
Em 
God knows what for
C 
It's all about heaven,
Bm 
Em 
sweet mother earth
F 
Why we're all here
D 
And what it's all worth
G 
Some days the words
C 
get the better of you
D 
And that old muscle memory
C 
G 
has got to carry you through
Sometimes the story's
C 
both fiction and truth
D 
Em 
It's not yours to judge right or wrong
D 
G 
Cause baby, you're a slave to the sun
C 
A song that brings comfort,
D 
heartache and joy
G 
Em 
A song of creation, a song to destroy
C 
Bm 
Em 
A song about love, a song full of space
F 
A song you can sing
D 
through your soul's darkest nights
G 
C 
If you got a story, better write it down
G 
D 
And it might be here
Em 
G 
when you're not around
If it's not for the glory, the
C 
fury, or the sound
D 
Em 
It's all for the sake of the song
D 
Em 
It's all for the writing of the song
D 
G 
C 
G 
C 
It's all for the love of the song
G 
I hope that I prayed
for some wings to fly
