IF ONLY I COULD FLY

When I look up at the blue sky, it gives me the blues
I notice all of the birds flying wherever they choose
That’s what I want to do

Gravity’s keeping me grounded - down on my knees
I wish that I could be boundless - so I could be free
Just flying with the breeze

Live like I mean it
Love like I need it
Fly with the seasons
And go where I please
If only I could fly

When I wake up in the morning, I gotta punch the clock
I listen to all the birds sing, and I sink like a rock
Oh, ‘cause I feel stuck

I want to burn like a Phoenix in the desert sun
And rise up from the ashes like a loaded gun
I’d show everyone

That I could live like I mean it
Love like I need it
Fly with the seasons
And go where I please
If only I could fly

Ooh, if only, if only I could fly
Ooh, if only, if only I could fly
Ooh, if only, if only I could fly
Ooh, if only, if only I could fly

Then I could live like I mean it
Love like I need it
Fly with the seasons
And go where I please
If only I could fly
