If I Could Fly

thousand people on the street
The rain is trying to drown my feet
The cold bites into every bone

The solemn faces pass me by
The grave veneer on buried smiles
crowded train to take me home

simple smile can change a day
An understanding look can say
I know exactly how you feel

But we have learned to build our walls
So very strong and very tall
For fear of what the world might steal

If I close my eyes a minute
See your world and then I'm in it
Stand alone and grow
My wings to take me high

If I could fly
See the world beneath me
Feel as though I'm set free
Oh, if I could fly
