If I Could Fly

A thousand people on the street

The rain is trying to drown my feet

The cold bites into every bone

The solemn faces pass me by

A grey veneer on buried smiles

A crowded train to take me home

If I close my eyes a minute

See a world and then I'm in it

Stand alone and grow my wings

To take me high

If I could fly

See the world beneath me

Feel as though I'm set free

Oh if I could fly

A simple smile can change a day

An understanding look can say

I know exactly how you feel

But we have learned to build our walls

So very strong and very tall

For fear of what the world might steal

If I close my eyes a minute

See a world and then I'm in it

Stand alone and grow my wings

To take me high

If I could fly

See the world beneath me

Feel as though I'm set free

Oh if I could fly

If I could fly

See the world beneath me

Feel as though I'm set free

Oh if I could fly

If I could fly

See the world beneath me

Feel as though I'm set free

Oh if I could fly
