A thousand people on the street
The rain is trying to drown my feet
The cold bites into every bone
The solemn faces pa** 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
