Midnight rises, at the top of the towers
The voices fall silent
And everything becomes blind and deaf
The night is hiding for few hours
The dirty places and the wrecks and the ugliness
I didn't choose to be born here
Between ignorance and violence and boredom
I'm gonna beat it1, I promise
And if necessary, I will use legal means
Fly me away2 {x3}
Away from this fate which is sticked to my skin
Fly me away {x2}
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
Fly me away
No questions or rebellions
Rules of game fixed but the dice are loaded
Winter is ice, summer is fire
Here there's never a season to fell better
I didn't choose to be born here
Between the submission, the fear or the abandonment
I'm gonna beat it, I swear to you
With some books, I'll cross all these walls
Fly me away {x3}
Away from this fate which is sticked to my skin
Fly me away {x2}
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
Fly me away
Don't leave me here, take me away, fly me away
To meet other eyes that aren't resigned
Fly me away, get me out of here
Show me these other lives that I don't know
Fly me away {x3}
Look at me closely, I don't look like them
Don't leave me here, fly me away
With or without you, I'll not end up like this
Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away...
