If I Had Wings

I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings

I could see through it all
Cloudy days in the rain even seeing through the fog
Martin luther king put a dream to the cause
When your eyes open really no one seems to applaud
Oops wrong race whole case go unsolved
Can't escape the murder rate the debates for a wall
Shutdowns what now all the greats been annulled
Ol'America the great is it great to us all
Pause
So why don't we get it
This government wicked
With each politician
One thing is efficient
Their in it for riches
And number one business is keep us in prison
But still we fall victim
To some kind of system
That won't give us jobs but give us a sentence
Their only intention
Is keeping us down but nobody listens

I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings

That would be the life
Take all of my people to paradise
The one surrounded by evil and stuck in a dark place help them see the light
We're brothers and killing each other is part of the structure they don't want us to unite
Don't want us coming together
Rather keep us in shackles forever
Got the mind of a young Medgar Evers
Heart of Rubin Carter keep me fighting harder
For a better future for my sons and daughter
Never stuck in neutral smarter gets you farther
For a child growing up without a father its
PAIN
The stories repeating and always gone turn out the same

So why don't we get it
This government wicked
With each politician
One thing is efficient
Their in it for riches
And number one business is keep us in prison
But still we fall victim
To some kind of system
That won't give us jobs but give us a sentence
Their only intention
Is keeping us down but nobody listens

I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
I wish i could fly fly away for just one day
And clear my brain from all this madness
Then i could escape all the nightmares that i've been having
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings
Lord if i had wings
