If I Could Fly

If I Could Fly
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
A gray veneer on 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
