Lyrics
Can't run away
And I don't wanna fade
And I don't wanna walk it alone
Can't help but lose
But I don't fault you
And I brought it all on my own
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in a somber sky
Just a ship with a sail
In an idle wind
Now I've got things to do
And I'm telling you
And I don't wanna stay anymore
When I was a child
I'd dream on high
Now I'm old and I don't really care
I'm just trying to be somebody happy
I'm just trying to be somebody smile
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in a somber sky
Just a ship with a sail
In an idle wind
Why don't you sail away with me?
Lord, I'm trying to do right by you baby
You gotta raise a little sand
Cause in the dead of night
There's a glimpse of light and a
sense of hope in the air
Now there's one little world
That must be heard
Must be spoken like a prayer
How I wish I could fly
Like a bird in a somber sky
Just a ship with a sail
In an idle wind
