I’d Like To Fly
I wish I could fly out over the sea!
With seagulls sailing all around me.
My arms wouldn’t flap or stick out ahead,
I’d be able to fly like I like in my bed.
On my back or my side, elbow under my ear,
I’d soar through the air, without worry or fear.
I’d come down to earth and rest for a minute,
then launch back to the sky and lose myself in it.
With seagulls sailing all around me.
My arms wouldn’t flap or stick out ahead,
I’d be able to fly like I like in my bed.
On my back or my side, elbow under my ear,
I’d soar through the air, without worry or fear.
I’d come down to earth and rest for a minute,
then launch back to the sky and lose myself in it.
