Wings -

Perhaps you’ll find stupid or even sad

I’m tired of the same old routine

Tired of our cheap amusement

That we need to fill our time with

We drive in cars and argue about the weather

Fall in love or prepare a divorce

It’s like life on standby

So if I had wings I would surely fly

What would I expect from heaven you might ask

A place that’s filled with planes and helicopters

It might as busy as a city street

But there’s something in there

It’s space — a kind of new creativity

I could go any place I want

Any time I want

But I sit here and gaze to the sky

So if I had wings I would surely fly

I will not jump out the window to see if it works

Maybe there’s another way

A stolen moment of the future

That I would use to come away

And while you’ll might wonder where I am

I’m hovering somewhere

Looking down on beautiful landscapes

With no need to hurry

And no need to cry

So if I had wings I would surely fly
