I am only flesh and bone, struggling with my life alone Jealously watching the skyways you've flown Dreaming of flight on my own Hidden out of sight I watched you swoop and then alight Windswept and breathless, an angel in flight Shining, then gone in the night And how I've longed for your freedom and your song Your wings so full-spread and your heartbeat so strong And so when I have dreamed that I could fly I've flown there beside you, alone through the night Is there something you can do if I give myself to you
To show me the heights That you reached when you flew Over the world I once knew And God, I've longed for your freedom and your song Your wings so full-spread and your heartbeat so strong And so, if I should someday learn to fly I'll soar there beside you, alone through the night And when I let you go tonight I'll touch you once before your flight And watch as you fly t'wards the cold morning light Flex my new wings as you sail out of sight And follow your path through the sky
