Lyrics

If I had wings, no one would ask me, "should I fly?" The bird sings, no one asks why I can see in myself wings as I feel them If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself I'll fly free then Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away They see their sun turning to grey You can't share in a dream, that you don't believe in If you say that you see and pretend to be me You won't be then How can you ask if I'm happy goin' my way? You might as well ask a child at play There's no need to discuss or understand me I won't ask of myself to become something else I'll just be me If I had wings, no one would ask me, "Should I fly?" The bird sings, and no one asks her why I can see in myself wings as I feel them If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself I'll fly free then
