Sometimes the world can be cruel
That's when I dream I was flying
Away from this planet of fools
Floating so freely
No one can see me

life can be so hard to bear
that's when I wish I was soaring
far from all wars and despair
far from the fighting
peacefully gliding
so free and careless
like a bird up in the sky

high
above the land, above the ocean
flying high
just the ultimate emotion
I rise and dive
Floating on these silver wings
Alive
Free as a seagull
Proud as an eagle
A bird up in heaven
that's what I would like to be

sometimes I'm tired and scared
that's when I wish I could hover
fly to a land, God knows where
Nothing is frightening
no thunder or lightning
so free and careless
like a bird up in the sky

(chorus + instrum)

peacefully gliding
no more running no more hiding
sofree and careless
like a bird up in the sky

free as a seagull
proud as an eagle
a bird up in heaven
that's what I would love to be
