Pearl Jam - Given to Fly lyrics

He could've 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 outta there
Ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean
Had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh

He's flying whole
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 was stripped and
Then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, 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 is seen a strange
Spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

He's flying whole
High wide, oh
