IF YOU'D LIKE TO FLY WITH ME

If you'd like to fly with me a while

You will have to spread your wings.

Though I have to say I like your style,

There are more important things.

If the world fell down around my knees

Would you stand right there beside me?

Would you listen in and grant my pleas

Though the Gods themselves denied me?

 

If only you could lose your mind

And all those things you've got.

I might be what you've tried to find,

If you weren't so sure I'm not.

 

Don't you ever wonder why

No matter who you're with

You're always tripping by yourself?

I know that's all you see,

But, can't you understand me, brother,

That it isn't all there is?

 

There's a great big world out there.

A world of faith, and friends who care

About each other, and about the things

They scorn to put a price on.

 

If you haven't got the heart

And you haven't got the eyes to see

That we're all laughing with you,

Then, I guess we're laughing at you.

 

If only you could lose your mind

And all those things you've got.

I might be what you've tried to find,

If you weren't so sure I'm not.
