If I Could Only Fly

[Verse:] 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
