If They Only Had Wings


If she only had wings she could fly outta here.
Nevermind the pouring rain, her empty stomach or her fear.
Shivering in the darkness though the others are near,
She just wants wings ~ she just wants wings.


If he only had a chance, he'd fly right outta here.
In the shelter of this bridge, his dreams seem very clear.
Food from a garbage can, some change ~ he's in the clear,
If he just had wings ~ if he only had wings.

If they only had wings, this time they could fly.
If they just had wings, tell the misery goodbye.
Running again from pain and fear ~ no need to cry ~ don't cry
If they just had wings ~ if they only had wings.

They gaze up to the angry sky and huddle against the rain.
He still has some fading hope, despite the burning pain.
They could be stars or artists ~ could find their way to fame.
If they just had wings ~ if they only had wings.


Rising in the shivering dawn, they know they have to move.
They wander up the dirty streets trying to find some food.
She is chilled right to the bone; he is needing better shoes
If they just had wings ~ if they only had wings.


If they only had wings, this time they could fly.
If they just had wings, tell the misery goodbye.
Running again from pain and fear ~ no need to cry ~ don't cry
If they just had wings ~ If they only had wings ~

If they only just had wings.
If only they had wings... no need to cry ~ don't cry.
If they only just had wings.
