IF I HAD WINGS...

I heard this song last night..hadn't heard it in years. It was a song I loved when I was young. I still love it, so I thought I'd write down the words in this post so I'd always remember them.

" 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.

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.

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!

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."

If you want a treat find an old Peter, Paul and Mary recording and listen to this song.

 It's the best!
