Sometimes the world can be cruel
That's
when I dream I was flying
Away from this planet of
fools
Floating so freely
No one can see me
Life can be so hard to bear
That's when I wish I was soaring
far from all wars and despair
far from the fighting
peacefully gliding
so free and careless
like a bird up in the sky
(Chorus:)
High -- above the land, above the ocean
Flying high -- just the ultimate emotion
I rise and dive
Floating on these silver wings, alive
Free as a seagull
Proud as an eagle
A bird up in heaven
That's what I would like to be
Sometimes I'm tired and scared
That's when I wish I could hover
Fly to a land, God knows where
Nothing is frightening
no thunder or lightning
so free and careless
like a bird up in the sky
Chorus
Instrumental
peacefully gliding
no more running no more hiding
so free and careless
like a bird up in the sky
free as a seagull
proud as an eagle
a bird up in heaven
that's what I would love to be
