[Verse 2]
Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he's full of piss and vinegar
And he's bustin at the seams
So he licked his finger and checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
[Chorus]
Well he's oAmne of those who knC/Gows that life
Is Fjust a leap of Cfaith
CSpread your C/Barms and hAmold your brCeath
And Falways Gtrust your Ccape

[Verse 3]
Now He's old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin' off the garage
And will be 'till he's dead
All these years the people said
He's actin like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
[Chorus]
Well he's oAmne of those who knC/Gows that life
Is Fjust a leap of Cfaith
CSpread your C/Barms and hAmold your brCeath
And Falways Gtrust your Ccape
