I wish I was a sparrow
Living up within the clouds
Above all tornadoes
Looking down to the ground
The world would look so great and vast
Yet so small, I could leave it and never turn back
I wish I could sit at the top of the tree
Become one with a thousand leaves
Feel the breath of a gentle breeze
And hear that whistle rushing through my wings
I'd be so small, but I'd be free
I'd be free
I wish that I could step off an edge
Close my eyes and hold my breath
And just before I hit the ground
I'd open my eyes and look around
And I'd be flying into the sky
Waving all my words goodbye
Goodbye
Oh, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh, goodbye
Oh
But alas, I am not a sparrow
I have no wings to show
And when I step off the edge
Heaven knows I won't float
No, I won't fly
I won't hold my breath
I won't spread my wings
Won't touch the sky
I'll start to fall
I'll see the ground
As I fall down, down, down, down
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
