Long ago... not so long ago
I had this dream... that I could fly
But I never flew... and I never knew
What's it's like to kiss the sky
So in my dreams
I spread my wings
I try to stay alive
I can't fly
My dreams can
To taste the freedom I strive
Day in and day out
Round about
People pass me by
The ones I love
The treasure trove
They come and ask me 'why'?
They do not know
The pain and sorrow
I leave behind when I go.
I'm dying to kiss the sky above
But then they'll never know
Deep inside
A feeling resides
A feeling that will take me high
But I never flew and I never knew
What's it's like to kiss the sky
By myself!
