Song lyrics
He could've tuned in, tuned in 
But he tuned out 
A bad time, nothing could save him 
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out 
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles 
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree 
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee 

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw 
Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now' 
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor 
Oh, power, oh 
He's.. flying.....whole 

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share 
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere 
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed 
By faceless men, well, fuckers 
He still stands 

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away 
The love he receives is the love that is saved 
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky 
A human being that was given to fly 

High.. flying 
Oh, oh 
High.. flying 
Oh, oh 
He's flying 
Oh, oh

This is one of the very best Pearl Jam songs ever!!!
I never really appreciated them until I saw them live, they kick ass!!!!
The Lead guitar rifts in this song are over whelming, Mike McCready really knows what he's doing. He is one of the best guitarists of today!!!!!!
Pearl Jam Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont really see this as a christian song
just about a guy thats given to fly
because he overcame everything in his life
its about not being chained down by society
i dont really think eddie writes about religion
i think he has a problem with most of it actually
maybe not the faith, but they way the organization works
but thats just me
