[Intro]
Dm G 4x
[Verse]
Dm
Mama, don't you cry
G
Don't you worry
Dm G
I cannot stay here any longer
Dm G
The time has come to find a distant calling
Dm G
That only seems to get much stronger
[Pre-chorus]
F A
And I know it's hard
G
To see the one you come to lean on make his way
A#
Far beyond the womb
F C
But, I can't stay
[Chorus]
Dm
I won't stop running
G
I'm only getting closer
Dm G
To getting off the ground this time
Dm G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Dm G
Won't let this chance pass me by
Dm
Mama, I'm bent to fly
[Interlude]
Dm G 2x
[Verse]
Dm
Remember yesterday
G
Before the storm
Dm G
Before the innocence was lost
Dm G
I promised I would stay for evermore
Dm G
But every boy, in time, moves on
[Pre-chorus]
F A
Your wounds will heal someday
G
This I know, but I am restless and so torn
A# F C
Mama, I can't stay here anymore
[Chorus]
Dm
I won't stop running
G
I'm only getting closer
Dm G
To getting off the ground this time
Dm G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Dm G
Won't let this chance pass me by
A
Mama, I'm bent to fly
[Bridge]
A
I can feel it coming
A
A perfect storm is rising
A Dm
Gotta say my last goodbye
[Solo]

I'm only getting closer
Dm G
To getting off the ground this time
Dm G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me by
Dm G
But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh
Dm G
Mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah
Dm G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Dm G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
[Outro]

A perfect storm is rising

I gotta say my last goodbye...
