If I Had Wings – Vanessa Williams

I used to wonder what I would do
If every dream I wished for suddenly came true
You don’t imagine someday you’ll have to choose
For everything you gain there’s something that you lose

But if I had wings
I’d fly with the angels
The song of the heavens
Would set my heart free
But here I am
Still chained to the ground
I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing
And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings

There was a moment it all came clear
And I could see the winding woe that brought me here
You never notice just when it slips from sight
Until you’re miles from home and stranded in the night

But if I had wings
I’d fly with the angels
The song of the heavens
Would set my heart free
But here I am
Still chained to the ground
I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing
And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings

But here I am
With my face to the sky
I wanna feel the wind, touch the clouds
Leave with all my mind

If I had wings
I’d fly with the angels
The song of the heavens
Would set my heart free
But here I am
Still chained to the ground
I gotta find the only song I’m meant to sing
And then I’ll fly, though I don’t have wings
