[intro]
[verse]
When I was five I had my tonsils tight
I’d leave school when the sun was bright
Through the hill where cops would stay
Past my house then far away
[verse]
The hospital was far end
Then back to school
On that hill I’d stop and stare
At the mountains in the air
[pre-chorus]
Something flew across the blue
Dropping bags like flying birds
[chorus]
Helicopter in the sky
Now it’s me who gets to fly
Childhood dreams they all came true
Just like magic painted blue
[verse]
Little legs would walk so slow
Up that hill with winds that blow
Through the glass of station doors
Watching props and spinning roars
[pre-chorus]
Silver bird so wild and free
Dancing where the eagles be
[chorus]
Helicopter in the sky
Now it’s me who gets to fly
Childhood dreams they all came true
Just like magic painted blue
