World Gives You Wings

Would it make a difference if I spoke more quietly?

Can you hear me if I barely breathe?

Would it make it easier if I was not here at all?

Would it help you make this feel small?

You got the widest shoulders now

The cleanest hands and the driest eyes in town

I can make noise enough for two

Guess, I'll cry your share for you

Just for the sake of making sound

And now I am a stranger from a long way away

If I spoke your language there would still be nothing to say

'Cause we all know tomorrow I'll be high over this place

And I can tell you one thing, the world gives you wings

You open those things and fly

It's just another April snow

We've seen enough that we both know that this can never last

What sticks tonight will not hold up to daylight

When you wake up it's already melting fast

And now I am a stranger from a long way away

If I spoke your language there would still be nothing to say

'Cause we all know tomorrow I'll be high over this place

And I can tell you one thing, world gives you wings

You open those things and fly, fly, fly

I can tell you one thing, world gives you wings

You open those things

Your voice can still ring, you gotta stand up and sing

And if the world gives you wings

You open those things and you fly, fly

Would it make a difference if I

Would it make a difference if I

Would it make a difference if I spoke more quietly?
