I remember long ago   Blowing bubbles on the Lisburn Road   How then could I know   Well I was young before I was old      I remember on the bridge   In a place they said was privileged   Watching the boats go up and down   I was attached and detached from my terrible town      And I decided to fly   Oh I decided to try      I remember long ago   Lived in a house on Whitebeam Road   The summers came as they go   I spend my life carrying granite stone      My mother, father, brother, three   Another one and that made me   I cut my shin and looked up high   Something deep told me that I      I decided to fly   Oh I decided to try      I remember long ago   I grew up in the South Seas   The horizon so far away   Now it's become a part of me      I decided to fly   I decided to try   I decided to fly   You and I decided to try   I decided to fly   You and I decided to try
