This morning as I watched a bird
Just spread its wings and fly
It was then a thought came over me
And I wondered why can't I
Oh why, oh why can't I?

If I could only fly you see
A lot of problems would be gone
When you think of just
How much I'd save on shoes alone
If I could only fly.

I would never tear my clothes
Climbing in and out of trees
If I could only fly I'd never crawl
Or wear holes in my knees
If I could only fly.

How I'd love to spread my wings
And streak across the sky
I'd be off to see the world
If I could only fly.

But I'd always come right back
