Spread My Wings And Fly

(album: Summer (The First Time) - 1973)

I used to think my whole world was as far as I could jump
From a worn out tire hanging on a tree
But I climbed that tree this morning
And I saw beyond the hill
Now I know that there's a lot more world to see

It's time to spread my wings and fly
And catch a ride upon the wind
Try to find my rainbow's end
It might be waiting 'round the bend
Got to spread my wings and fly
And when there's no more songs to sing
Then I'll spread my wings and fly back home

Gonna greet each brand new dawn from a different bale of hay
Waking to a bacon-frying morning
'Cause there's nothing here to tie me down
But a memory or two
So I'll pack my dreams and I'll be on my way

It's time to spread my wings and fly
And leave the boy in me behind
Got to ease my restless mind
I've got to see what I can find
Got to spread my wings and fly
And when there's no more hills to climb
When I've satisfied my mind I'll fly back home

There's lots of life worth living
And I've got to do my share
And when my time is up
At least I'll know I've tried
Till I fly 'cross every mountain
Till I swim in every sea
Till I've tried it all I won't be satisfied

I've got to spread my wings and fly
And catch a ride upon the wind
Try to find my rainbow's end
It might be waiting 'round the bend
Got to spread my wings and fly
And when there's no more songs to sing
Then I'll spread my wings and fly back home

Spread my wings and fly
Spread my wings and fly
Spread my wings and fly
Spread my wings and fly
