If Only I Had Wings

I turn my eyes

To the autumn sky

I see the geese flying south

How come they

Get to leave this place

Every year

While my whole life

I have been stuck here?

The sky is grey

The ground is cold

Just the way I feel

Sad and bored and tired of life

In this routine, predictable world

Take me away

Far away

Let me fly

Miles and miles over open sea

Somewhere I’ve never been before

Let me feel something I’ve never felt before

I don’t think I can take any more

If only I had wings

If only I could fly

I would fly away, far, far away

If only I had wings
