Given To Fly - Pearl Jam

He could have 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 out of there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose, upset him down on his knees

A wave came crashin' like a fist to the jaw
Deliver him wings high, look at him now
Arms wide open with the sea as his float
Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying
Oh, oh
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 stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, the 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 he's seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
