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 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
