Wings to Fly

Faces of the lonely strangers
Pull us from the mire
Places full of hidden danger
Closer to the fire

How long will we walk the streets in a city
With no name?
How long will we cast our stones in the
Battlefield of shame?

There are some who walk this Earth
Whose belief is torn apart
There are some who still believe
That deep in your heart

If we had the wings to fly
We would rise and touch the sky
We would build a new world tomorrow
Free from pain and sorrow
If we had the wings to fly
See us soar and kiss the sky
Dream of a better day
Oh oh, if I only had the wings

Yeah, if I only had the wings, oh yeah

Traces of what lie ahead
Fueled by pure desire
Painting pictures in our heads
So few we see transpire

How long will we look back down
The road from which we came?
How long 'til we're set free
From the shackles of these chains?

There are some who walk this Earth
Whose belief is torn apart
There are some who still believe
That deep in your heart

If we had the wings to fly
We would rise and touch the sky
We would build a new world tomorrow
Free from pain and sorrow
If we had the wings to fly
See us soar and kiss the sky
Dream of a better day
Oh oh, if I only had the wings

There are some who walk this earth
Whose belief is torn apart
There are some who still believe
That deeper in your heart
There are some who search this Earth
Just looking for that spark
There are some who find themselves
Standing in the dark

If we had the wings to fly
We would rise and touch the sky
We would build a new world tomorrow
Free from pain and sorrow
If we had the wings to fly
See us soar and kiss the sky
Dream of a better day
Oh oh, if I only had the wings

If I only had the wings
Oh oh, come on spread your wings and fly
Reach your higher ground
How long, 'til we are set free?
If I only, if I only had the wings
