I want you to fly
I want you to grow
I like you to get back
Whatever you lose

I want you to learn
What you wanna know
I like you to follow
The road that you choose

Ooh, at the same time

I wanna hold on
Don't want you to go
I like to be near you
Whatever you do

I want us to hide (ooh)
I want to lay low (ooh)
Doesn't make sense but (ooh)
I wanna be you (ooh)

I wanna be you (at the)
I want to be you (same)
I want to be you (time)
I wanna be you (at)
I wanna be you (the)
I wanna be you (same)
I (time)

I want us to hide
I want to lay low
It doesn't make sense but
I wanna be you

I want you to fly

So the cages open now
We take him fly to
Rising and falling like snow
In the nights

I'm feeling while a windy scene
Between my palms
I've got my hands and the bird
Flies out

Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

So the cages open now
We take him fly to
Rising and falling like snow
In the nights

Rising and falling like snow
In the nights

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
