If I Could Fly

(album: Sirens Of The Sea - 2008)

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 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
