I've got you on the loose

I left you groovin'

I've got you on the beat

I left you broken

But won't you take my place

since long ago I wandered

Way out on a cliff

with the brilliance of an angel



So fly me courageous

So fly me courageous



Mother America is brandishing

her weapons

She keeps me safe and warm

by threats and misconceptions

So if you break the chains

you'll have to shake me

and if you break my heart

you'll have to take me



Whoa lady won't you take it easy

Push me out of

Whoa won't you take it easy lady

Push me out of



Whoa won't you take it easy lady

Push me out of



So fly me courageous



I heard your whispers

from the bottom of the canyon

It's not so hard to hide

the rattlesnakes confusion

Wrap me high in the sky

circle me with stallions

She flew from peak to peak

with the freedom of an eagle



So fly me courageous

Fly me courageous

So fly me courageous
