[Verse 1]
Don't be so wise, I was born to fly
Not without a place in the wind
Walked off a cliff, then I closed my eyes

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm not a spaceman, no, no
Oh, I'm not a spaceman

[Verse 2]
Don't need no feathers, I don't need no twine
I'm all together in my body and my mind
Not supernatural, just a human combine

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Can't see a castle, I don't need a sleigh
I brought my wings, no, not today
I'm a cosmopolitan, right-handed wingless man

[Chorus]

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
