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 buried smiles
A crowded train to take me home

If I close my eyes a minute
See a world within a minute
Standing on the road
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 u 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
Standing on the road
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
