[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
