If I Had Wings

[Verse 1]
Be careful when you tell them what you feel
Cancellation's final, no appeal
If you try to go too far out on a limb
The chance that it won't break is pretty slim
The sport is dragging people through the mud
There are no rules as long as you draw blood
It's hard to get up when you've been knocked down
You'll eat dirt as they play kick the crown

[Chorus]
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
To a place with better games to play
A world where you can speak your mind
And freedom isn't left behind
If I had wings, we'd rise above it all
Where we won't hit the old stone wall
The only wind we'd have to face
Would blow us where truth's no disgrace

[Verse 2]
Their word's the only thing that's advertised
Once it's there, it cannot be revised
We've lost the proof of anything that's just
The coward's playground turned it into dust

[Chorus]
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
To a place with better games to play
A world where you can speak your mind
And freedom isn't left behind
If I had wings, we'd rise above it all
Where we won't hit the old stone wall
The only wind we'd have to face
Would blow us where truth's no disgrace

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
If I had wings, if I had wings
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
If I had wings, if I had wings
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
If I had wings, if I had wings
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
If I had wings, if I had wings
If I had wings, I'd fly us far away
