"If I Could Fly" Lyrics

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
The grave veneer on buried smiles
A crowded train to take me home

If I close my eyes a minute
See a world within a minute
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 within a minute
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
