A thousand people on the street The rain is trying to drown my feet The cold bites in to every bone The solemn faces pass me by The grave and near on buried smiles A crowded train to take me home If I close my eyes a minute And see a world and then live it Stand alone and grown 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 When 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 And see a world and then live it Stand alone and grown 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
