Tonight we fly
Over the houses, the streets and the trees;
Over the dogs down below -
They’ll bark at our shadows
As we float by on the breeze.
Tonight we fly
Over the chimney tops, skylights and slates,
Looking into all your lives
And wondering why
Happiness is so hard to find. Hard to find

Over the doctor, Over the doctor,
Over the soldier, Over the soldier,
Over the farmer, Over the farmer,
Over the poacher, Over the poacher,
Over the preacher, Over the preacher,
Over the gambler, Over the gambler,
Over the teacher, Over the teacher,
Over the writer,Over the writer,
Over the writer,
Over the lawyer,Over the lawyer,
Over the lawyer,
Over the dancer,Over the dancer,
Over the dancer,
Over the voyeur,Over the voyeur,
Over the voyeur,
Over the builder,Over the builder,
Over the builder
And the destroyerAnd the destroyer
And the destroyer,
Over the hillsOver the hills
Over the hills
And far away. And far away.

Tonight we fly
Tonight we fly
Over the mountains,
The beach and the sea, Over the mountains,
The beach and the sea,
Over the friends that we’ve known
Over the friends we’ve known,
And those that we now know Over their homes.
And those whom we’ve yet to meet. To find
And when we die, Over the fathers, over the mothers,
Oh! will we be that disappointed or sad? Over the sisters, over the brothers,
If heaven doesn’t exist, Over the children,
What will we have missed? Over the lovers,
This life is the best Over the hills and
We’ve ever had. Far away.
