‘Flight’ by Sutton Foster and Megan McGinnis

Let me run through a field in the night
Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight
Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea
Wish me on my way, through the dawning day
I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill,
Wanna grow in a grove on the side of a hill

I don’t care if the train runs late
If the checks don’t clear
If the house blows down

I’ll be off where the weeds run wild
Where the seeds fall far from this earthbound town
And I’ll start to soar, watch me rain till I pour

I’ll catch a ship that’ll sail me astray
Get caught in the rain I’ll just have to obey
Till I’m flying away

Let me leave behind all the clouds in my mind
I wanna wake without wondering why
Finding myself in a burst for the sky

I’ll just roll, let me lose all control
I wanna float like a wish in a well,
Free as the sound of the Sea in a shell

I don’t know but maybe I’m just a fool,
I should keep to the ground,
I should stay where I’m at

Maybe everyone has hunger like this,
and the hunger will pass, but I can’t think like that

All I know is somewhere through a clearing,
There’s a gleam of sunlight on a river long and wide
And I have such a river inside

Let me run through a field in the night,
Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight,
Let me sway like the shade of a tree,
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea

Wish me on my way, through the dawning day
I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill,
Wanna grow on the side of a hill

Wanna shift like a wave rollin’ on,
Wanna drift from the path I’ve been traveling upon

Before I am gone…
