[Verse 1]
If I had wings I`d take off work
Fly around town `till it got dark
Watch the kids playing basketball
Down in the park with their shoes on
And laugh at them - ha ha!
I`m out of here
Gravity free in the stratosphere
Don`t need a blunt or a can a beer
To get high as the sky
And wave bye bye (bye bye)
I flap my wings in double time
Rappin` in double rhyme (double rhyme)
And look down on the world
feeling innocent and thinking
I never want to land again
Because an average day could ruin a man
Have me thinking about suicide again
And a whole lotta crazy other things
Like if I had wings
[Hook]
If I had wings I would fly away, fly away
if I had wings I would laugh all day, laugh all day
If I had wings I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings I would laugh all day
[Verse 2]
If I had wings I wouldn`t fall in love
I`d flutter around it like a butterfly does
Pollenate my heart with flower buds
In the summer time
You know I want to rub
Noses with the mostest
Beautiful girl in the world
Fly to the sea and get a pearl
To give to her
I`d be happy if her name were jennifer
Or stephanie
As long as she could fly away with me
And have a picnic in a maple tree
Look - I can see my house from here
My mind is crystal clear
Would you like some more ambrosia dear?
Listen, you can hear the crickets sing
I`d have a girl if I had wings
[Hook]
If I had wings I wouldn`t be so lazy
I`d give rides to kids and old ladies
When they need help accross the street
I`d be there to sweep them off their feet
I`d be a model citizen
All the kids around the way would say
I want to be like Time when I grow up
Forget about Jordan, he can only jump
I want to fly, I want to flow
I want wings, don`t you know?
Yeah, kids, I know all about it
I`m gunna get my wings one day
Don`t you doubt it
I don`t want a car or diamond rings
I`d be a hero if I had wings
[Hook]
If I had wings my luck would change
I could live above the clouds where it never rains
Where I can`t get hit by a bus or a train
Or bird poop
Like I always do
There`d be no crowds at shopping malls
No barking dogs
No telephone poles
And I`d be free
With nobody around to ostracize me
I could fly all day above the planet earth
Come home late and my feet would never hurt
I`d fill my pockets up with dirt
Just to prove that it isn`t a dream
I`d be in heaven if I had wings
