[00:24.40] Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
[00:30.63] He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well
[00:36.52] He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
[00:42.23] He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground
[00:48.19]
[00:49.67] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[00:55.74] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[01:01.12]
[01:14.00] Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream
[01:20.18] And he's full of spit and vinegar and he's bustin' at the seam
[01:25.78] Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind, it's gonna be do or die
[01:31.20] And he wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
[01:36.71]
[01:38.99] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[01:45.20] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[01:50.39]
[02:15.46] Now, he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
[02:20.79] And he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be till he's dead
[02:27.28] All these years the people said, he was actin' like a kid
[02:33.70] He did not know he could not fly and so he did
[02:38.29]
[02:40.40] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[02:46.28] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[02:51.80] Yes, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[02:58.20] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[03:03.91] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
