lyrics

Verse 1:
I'm sorry that I never got to hear your mind
And I really wish that I can see you just one more time
You didn't like it the way I grew out to be so I faded out,
I wanted you to wait a couple years to help you make it out.

You saw me still a kid, though we did different than then average lived
I knew you as my brother you saw yourself as a bastard kid.
Me and you are not to blame nor we can accuse,
So I'm letting you know I'll be living for me and you

I'm sorry for things that I could not do
It was up to us to push for moms but God just caught you
Now I feel it's up to me, you passed me the baton
Sometimes things feel unreal but I got to move on

Remember you forever no one can tell you nothing
I blame society for the bucket they got us stuck in
Now I know, things won't be the same
No need to blame yourself, oh what a cold world today.

Mia (Chorus):
Fly away, into the sky
Now you’re free, rest in peace
My heart, don’t know what to feel
Everything seems so unreal

Verse 2:
The last glimpse of you, will always strike upon me
Feeling sick, seems unreal that you live under concrete
It haunts me, that I never got to prove
Myself to you, and say your brother found the way from you

I had all faith, and it seemed like it was turning
But I guess sometimes the wind doesn't stop the bridge from burning
And no one ever sees the pain when it's internal
No one ever reunites till afterlife is now eternal

May you rest with the rest of ours, for the rest of hours
Life does what it pleases, and at times I really doubt her
Another seed that dreamt to be a tower,
You might have not made it but to me you’re still a flower

Resting on a hammock tied to the pearly gates
Waiting for momma and me hoping that we too can escape
Wish it was that easy, till then I’ll keep my chest high
'Cause only the best fly

Mia (Chorus):
Fly away, into the sky
Now you’re free, rest in peace
My heart, don’t know what to feel
Everything seems so unreal

You never fell; day by day you started rising,
Till you grew up out your wings, unafraid to be first flying
