Once upon a time there was a boy named Sam Ray Who lived in a walkup down the lane Dad worked Monday to Friday nine to five Mama was a teacher and danced at night Little Sammy Ray had a secret dream That he learned how to fly without wings But every time he jumped off a tree Instead of taking off he hurt his knee
Wish upon a falling star That all your dreams come true someday And you’ll be the happiest man on the earth
Do you feel like giving up Having been out of luck? There are no falling stars When you keep staring up You seem to be losing faith More with every day No matter how hard you try Without wings you won't fly
You’ll dig it in the ground to hide your crime Of betraying the meaning of your life Some things are fated to never ever happen But you can’t really know
Sam Ray has grown as the years are going by Now he works for the company called Joyss and Sons Just like his dad he drinks beer after work Sitting on the coach and watching TV shows He got married and they have kids He never could imagine living a life like this But everytime he looks up in the sky He recalls the times he wanted to fly
Wish upon a falling star That all your dreams come true someday And you’ll be the happiest man on the earth
Do you feel like giving up Having been out of luck? There are no falling stars When you keep staring up You seem to be losing faith More with every day No matter how hard you try Without wings you won't fly
You’ll dig it in the ground to hide your crime Of betraying the meaning of your life Some things are fated to never ever happen But you can’t really know
And if someday You see a flying man Wave your hand At Sammy Ray Who has lived his dream…
