There once was a bird, she loved to fly
She would spread her wings and on and on she'd go
And one day she flew over a house and the girl outside saw her and said
If I was a bird I would fly

If I was her I might give it a try
Oh if only I could fly
If only I could fly
If I could I'd fly

Once the bird flew out of sight
The girl was left standing outside and she wondered why she couldn't fly
But one day she saw that bird in the sky and said
If I was a bird I would fly

If I was her I might give it a try
Oh if only I could fly
If I was a bird I would fly
If I was her I might give it a try

Oh if only I could fly
Now I know I can't fly but I'll do my best to try and feel like I can
And if I could I'd give it a try
If I was a bird I know that I would fly

If I was a bird I would fly
