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
