If I Had Wings - Vanessa Williams

I used to wonder what I would do

If every dream I wished for suddenly came true

You don’t imagine someday you’ll have to choose

For everything you gain there’s something that you lose

But if I had wings

I’d fly with the angels

The song of the heavens

Would set my heart free

But here I am

Still chained to the ground

I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing

And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings

There was a moment it all came clear

And I could see the winding woe that brought me here

You never notice just when it slips from sight

Until you’re miles from home and stranded in the night

But if I had wings

I’d fly with the angels

The song of the heavens

Would set my heart free

But here I am

Still chained to the ground

I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing

And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings

But here I am

With my face to the sky

I wanna feel the wind, touch the clouds

Leave with all my mind

If I had wings

I’d fly with the angels

The song of the heavens

Would set my heart free

But here I am

Still chained to the ground

I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing

And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings
