Lyrics

[Verse] He used to be kind of a happy guy Then one day he said goodbye To the person he used to be And grew wings to set himself free He flew away from all of us Away from what he once was A charade of phony smiles He's now a case in the X-Files [Chorus] And the chain around his neck is a reminder: a symbol of liberty How free he once was in our society He spends the day leaving his white mark on the statues of great men 'Cause he remembers how he used to hate them He flies by outside my window There are not many of his kind He flies by outside my window He's the hero of our time [Bridge] He had a dream He had a dream about this world He had a dream He had a dream He had a dream about this world [Chorus] And the chain around his neck is a reminder: a symbol of liberty How free he once was in our society He spends the day leaving his white mark on the statues of great men 'Cause he remembers how he used to hate them He flies by outside my window There are not many of his kind He flies by outside my window He's the hero of our time He's the hero of our time
