I wish I could fly


I wish I could fly,

leave all this behind. 

Soar above the clouds,

free as a bird, 

go to strange places,

visit the unknown.

 

I wish I could fly,

leave all this behind,

enter a different new world

where there is no hatred, 

no judgemnet.

Leave all that behind

enter a world

where there is love 

and where there is peace.

Oh, I wish I could fly.

 

I wish I could fly, 

leave all this behind. 

Go to new countries

visit new places

meet new people

share and exchange cultures

but that is merely possible

in this world full of hatred

in this world full of war.

 

I wish I could fly,

leave all this behind. 

I wish I could fly.

Oh, I wish I could fly.
