Midnight rises atop the towers
The voices fall silent and everything turns blind and deaf
The night hides for a few hours
The dirty zone and the wrecks and the ugliness
I didn't choose to be born here
Between ignorance and violence and boredom
I'll get out, I promise myself
And if I have to, I'll use legal means
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
Far from this fate that sticks to my skin
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
No questions nor rebellion
Rules of the game set but the dice are loaded
Winter is ice, summer is fire
Here, there's never a season to feel better
I didn't choose to live here
Between submission, fear or abandonment
I'll get out, I swear to you
With books, I'll break through all these walls
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
Far from this fate that sticks to my skin
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
Don't leave me here take me away, fly me away
Meet other eyes that won't give in
Fly me away, pull me out of here
Show me those other lives I don't know
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
Look closely at me, I don't look like them
Don't leave me here fly me away
With or without you, I won't end up like that
