I Want to Be
Why is it that they're so lucky?
 I wonder as I admire their tiny wings.
 I want to go with them,
 To see new things.
 I wonder what it's like...
 To soar through the skies...
 I wonder what it's like...
 To see through their eyes.
 Do they look down at us?
 Wondering why we're so small?
 As I look up at them...
 Admiring them all.
 Have they seen the heavens?
 Have they seen me?
 Praying that it's with them...
 That I want to be.
 Do they know what I want?
 As they keep up their ascending height?
 Do they know that it's me...
 Who wants to be in flight?
 Oh, how I want to be a bird!
 To fly with them as one.
 To feel like I'm at the ends of the earth...
 When it's only just begun.
