Staring out my window, the clouds are fleeting by.
I wish that they would take me… I wish that I could fly.
I’d pack a bag and sail away to interesting places.
I’d see the wonders of the world, see many different faces
and hear songs sung in different dialects and speech.
If I could only fly it would all be in my reach.
I watch the wind sculpt the clouds and suddenly I realize
that all the things I’m looking for are right before my eyes.
I see wild animals of Africa, snow capped mountain peaks,
I listen and the wind tells me its stories as it speaks.
I see strange faces come and go, I hear waves upon a beach.
The wind carries my imagination – it’s all within my reach.
