Like a bird on the wire,  
Like a drunk in a midnight choir,  
I have tried in my way to be free.

</div>

Free me  
Inside I’m bleeding can’t you see  
Free me  
From all this pain and misery.

I am a flame,  
But he held the fire,  
Call me a fool–don’t call me a liar.  
Take me to hell and let me stay,  
Can’t you hear me say,  
Can’t you hear me say,  
Can’t you hear me say…

Free me!

</div>

Fly like a song, fly while you’re singing  
A song without you is a bird without winging  
Some city flights leave in the morning  
Some city nights end without warning

Can you hear me call?  
Calling to the sky  
The thunder drowns my voice within the rain  
And I know you’re near me  
And I call throughout the storm  
I know that you don’t hear me

I call your name  
I call your name  
I call your name

Can you hear me call your name?

</div>

Who calls,  
When a star falls from above,  
Can it be the one I love,  
Who calls?

Who calls.  
When the sage is silv’ry white,  
Is there someone in the night,  
Who calls?

We lived our little drama  
We kissed in a field of white  
And stars fell on Alabama  
Last night

I can’t forget the glamour  
Your eyes held a tender light  
While stars fell on Alabama  
Last night

[Sorry **DD** , temptier openings above you]

May it be an evening star  
Shines down upon you  
May it be when darkness falls  
Your heart will be true  
You walk a lonely road  
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)  
Believe and you will find your way  
Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)  
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow’s call  
Will fly away  
May it be your journey on  
To light the day  
When the night is overcome  
You may rise to find the sun

A promise lives within you now

It’s gonna be a rock and roll weekend,  
Eight o’clock’s when the show begins.  
Get on the phone and call all your friends,  
Tell 'em it’s gonna be a rock and roll weekend.

Turn up the music  
Make it loud and clear  
I said to turn up the music  
Oh, you know what I wanna hear  
Turn up the music

Well, I gotta hear an oldie like, “Johnny B Goode”  
You know it gets me in the mood, yeah, I knew it would  
This here radio’s got to make it right, yeah  
Anybody wanna rock tonight?

I dig Rock and Roll music  
I could really get it on in that scene.  
I think I could say somethin’ if you know what I mean  
But if I really say it, the radio won’t play it  
Unless I lay it between the lines

They said it on the air  
On the radio

Pilot of the airwaves  
Here is my request  
You don’t have to play it  
But I hope you’ll do your best  
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio  
And you seem like a friend to me  
Or a record of your choice  
I don’t mind  
I’d be happy just to hear your voice  
Saying this is for the girl  
Who didn’t sign her name  
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same

In the morning they return with tears in their eyes  
The stench of death drifts up to the skies  
A young soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot  
Remembers the words, “Thou shalt not kill”  
Sky pilot, sky pilot  
How high can you fly  
You never, never, never reach the sky

Anything you want to try  
Just let go  
Fly high

We were flying low,  
And hit something in the air.

We’re walking in the air  
We’re floating in the moonlit sky  
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I’m holding very tight  
I’m riding in the midnight blue  
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
