Jenny was a poor girl
living in a rich world

Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen

She was hoping for a better world for this little girl

But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

When she gets that call Hope's too far gone

Her baby's on the way, nothing left inside

Oh, Mary's ambitious,

she wanna be a politician

She been dreaming about it since she was a girl

She thought that she'd be the one who could change the world

Always trying to pave the way for women in a man's world

But life happened, house, kids, two cars, husband hits the jar

Cheques that don't go very far now

Now she in it, can't change it, she keeps her mind on her wages

The only rattling cages rile her

 There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean

We're all in tears for the world is broken
Together we cry,

There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go, leave home
Where they go? Who knows
Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone

You show your kids the truth, hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better
Bet you're sorry now, I won't be coming home tonight

I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly

I'm going to fly !
