[Verse 1: Lionel Richie]
I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh, I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Ohhh, dream my dream
[Chorus: Lionel Richie]
Oh, oh, Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind, oh Lord, is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be
[Verse 2: Lionel Richie]
Oh, I'd like the greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life, in my life
Well, I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
Oh, but everyone finds the right way
Somehow, somewhere, someday
[Chorus: Lionel Richie]
Oh, Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be
[Verse 3: Lionel Richie]
Oh, oh, I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come
[Chorus: Lionel Richie]
Oh, Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be
Hey hey, hey hey, hey baby
[Outro: Commodores + (Lionel Richie)]
Zoom zoom, I'd like to fly away
(Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom zoom (Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (Zoom, baby) I'd like to fly away
(Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom zoom (Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (Zoom, baby) I'd like to fly away
(Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom zoom (Well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (Zoom, baby)
Zoom (I) Zoom zoom
Zoom (You and me, baby, walking free)
(Don't you wanna go?) Zoom zoom
(Don't you wanna go?) Zoom
(Baby, baby, baby, baby) Zoom zoom
(Girl) Zoom (Don't you wanna go? Don't you wanna go? Hey)
(Don't you wanna go? Don't you wanna go? Hey)
(Don't you wanna go? Don't you wanna go? Hey)
(Don't you wanna go? Hey, ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby)
