[Intro] C Dm7 C Dm7 C [Verse 1]
C        Dm7          C                     Dm7     C
If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly

          C7                F G
The bird sings, no one asks why.

C     Em            F          Em
I can see in myself wings as I feel them

F      Em                            F
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself,

     G
I'll fly free then.
[Verse 2]
C           Dm7            C             Dm7     C
Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away

               C7             F  G
They see their sun turning to gray

C         Em                F              Em
You can't share in a dream, that you don't believe in

F       Em                  F
If you say that you see and pretend to be me

    G
You won't be then.
[Verse 3]
C           Dm7        C              Dm7     C
How can you ask if I'm happy going my way?

          C7                  F     G
You might as well ask a child at play!

C          Em              F             Em
There's no need to discuss or understand me

F       Em               F
I won't ask of myself to become something else

     G
I'll just be me!
[Verse 4]
C        Dm7          C                     Dm7     C
If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly

          C7                F G
The bird sings, no one asks why.

C     Em            F          Em
I can see in myself wings as I feel them

F      Em                            F
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself,

     G
I'll fly free then.
