Eight years old with flour sack cape

Tied all around his neck
3
He climbed up on the garage
4
Figurinwhat the heck
5
He screwed his courage up so tight
6
The whole thing come unwound
7
He got a runninstart and bless his heart
8
He headed for the ground

Chorus
10
Heí… one of those who knows that life
11
Is just a leap of faith
12
Spread your arms and hold you breath
13
Always trust your cape
14
All grown up with a flour sack cape
15
Tied all around his dream
16
Heí… full of piss and vinegar
17
Heí… bustinat the seams
18
He licked his finger and checked the wind
19
Ití… gonna be do or die
20
He wasní… scared of nothin Boys
21
He was pretty sure he could fly
22
Chorus
23
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
24
Tied all around his head
25
Heí… still jumpinoff the garage
26
And will be till heí… dead
27
All these years the people said
28
Heí… actinlike a kid
29
He did not know he could not fly
30
So he did
31
Chorus
