Verse 1
On a day that dawned with promise, death dropped
from the sky.
And I didn’t even know it. Later all the stations showed
it.
As the world watched, with tears in it’s eyes.
The call came in for back up, and we ran as duty called.
Through the crowded streets we flew, while the winds of
destruction blew
around us, as we reached the scene appalled.
Chorus
Fly away home, that’s where they wanted to be.
Instead they earned a footnote in the pages of history.
And they went home. Fly away home.
Verse 2
As the dust did settle, we went in to do our job.
I sifted through the rubble, and I found your body
huddled
where you’d fallen, trampled by the mobs.
Chorus
Fly away home, that’s where you thought you would
flee.
But how you’re just a victim, of that day of infamy..
And you went home. Fly away home.
Verse 3
I reached down to lift you, thinking how life wasn’t
fair.
Then the walls came crashing down. And I’m trapped now
on the ground.
Under tons of metal, running out of air.
Last Chorus
Fly away home, that’s where I wish I could be.
And if you’re not too far ahead, would you please wait
for me
I’m going home. Fly away home. Away home. Home. Away
Home. Away Home.
