Peter, Paul and Mary — If I Had Wings

[Verse 1] If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly The bird sings, no one asks why I can see in myself wings as I feel them If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself I'll fly free then [Verse 2] Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away They see their sun turning to grey You can't share in a dream that you don't believe in If you say that you see and pretend to be me You won't be then [Verse 3] How can you ask if I'm happy goin' my way? You might as well ask a child at play There's no need to discuss or understand me I won't ask of myself to become something else I'll just be me [Verse 4] If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly The bird sings, and no one asks her why I can see in myself wings as I feel them If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself I'll fly free then
