"Fly Away" is a song released by Rebbie Jackson as the sixth track on her album, Yours Faithfully. It was originally written and intended for his brother Michael Jackson, with his version being released on the Bad: Special Edition reissue.
Background[]
"Fly Away" was recorded between April 20-July 14, 1986 during the Bad sessions at Hayvenhurst, with Bill Bottrell behind the production. It ultimately didn't make the final selection for the album. Over a decade later, the song was given to his older sister Rebbie who put it on her album, Yours Faithfully. On Rebbie's version, Michael is featured on the backing vocals, some of which aren't included on his version.
Michael's version would finally release a few years later in 2001 as apart of the Bad: Special Edition reissue and was later re-released on the Bad 25 anniversary album.

[Intro]
Our love's an ocean
Give me a notion 'cause
You know I'll never part
Our love goodbye
Our love in season
Give me a reason 'cause
You know I'll never part
Our love goodbye
And together, we'll fly
I'll give you my heart
There's no place too far for us
We don't need it
[Verse 1]
Our love's an ocean
Give me a notion 'cause
You know I'll never part
Our love goodbye
Our love a season
Give me a reason 'cause
You know I'll never part
Our love goodbye
And together, we'll fly
I'll give you my heart
No place too far for us
We don't need it

Baby, don't make me
Baby, don't make me

[Verse 2]
Our love’s an ocean
Give me a notion ’cause
You know I'll never see
A thing to see
I love a reason
Give me the truesome ‘cause
