Oh yes, it's my destiny
My time on earth is spent
Who am I to disagree with my fate?
This is the end
I'll be damned
But it's got to be so
This bird must ascend

So farewell to my friends
Farewell to my foes
Farewell to the stars and the sky above
What was I gonna do?
Nothing left to lose

Like a bird of passage must take leave
I was just passing through
Into the sun, so wild and free
But please
Please
Remember me, how it was before
Ooh, don't you cry a tear
Oh, no

Farewell to my friends
Farewell to my foes
Farewell to the stars and the sky above
What was I gonna do?
Nothing left to lose
Oh, no, but my life
Oh, oh

Farewell to my friends
Farewell to my foes
Farewell to the stars and the sky above
What was I gonna do?
Nothing left to lose
Oh, no
Ooh, oh, no
