Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there
Somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Whoa, I'd like to take just a moment
And dream my dream
Oh, dream my dream
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind, oh Lord, is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be
[Verse 2]
Whoa, I'd like to greet the sun each mornin'
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life
In my life
Well, I've shared so many pains
And I played so many games
Ah, but everyone finds the right way
Somehow, somewhere, someday
[Chorus]
Whoa, zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Whoa, I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom
Someday would come
Someday would come, baby
[Chorus]
Whoa, zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ba-baby
Woo
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Zoom
Zoom, baby
I'd like to fly away
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom, zoom
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom
Zoom, baby
I'd like to fly away
Zoom, zoom
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom, zoom
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom
Zoom, baby
I'd like to fly away
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom, zoom
Well, I'd like to fly away
Zoom
Zoom, baby
[Outro]
Zoom
I-I-I-I-I
Baby
Zoom, zoom
Babe, yeah
Zoom
You and me, baby
Ooh-ooh
Walking free
Don't you wanna go, babe?
Zoom, zoom
Don't you wanna go? Hey, yeah
Zoom
Ooh-ooh
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Zoom, zoom
Yeah
Zoom
Don't you wanna go?
Ooh-ooh
Don't you wanna go? Hey
Don't you wanna go? Hey
You wanna go? Hey
Don't you wanna go? Hey
