Wish I had an aeroplane I'd fly away up yonder 'Til I could write me the perfect song It'd be a song for the people It'd be a song that everybody could sing along If you needed a ride You'd have one If you needed a friend I'd be your best one If you got afraid I'd take away all your pain And I'd let you fly In my aeroplane If this song could spread happiness I'd sing it long and loud All over this land I'd teach this song to the troubled And we'd sing it for anybody Who needed a helping hand If you needed a ride You'd have one If you needed a friend I'd be your best one If you got afraid I'd take away all your pain And I'd let you fly In my aeroplane If you had a wish Well I wonder what in the world Your wish might be Would it be a wish of freedom And a joyous noise That could ring out from all eternity If you needed a ride You'd have one If you needed a friend I'd be your best one If you got afraid I'd take away all your pain And I'd let you fly - high In my aeroplane
