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 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 Peacefully gliding No more running no more hiding Sofree 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
