Sometimes blindness finds me and leads me through ignorance   Not allowing us to gain experience so we become lifeless   At other times I cover with self pity or work aimlessly through reality   So occasionally I choose to travel alone      But never fulfill my possibility   So mostly I attempt to achieve balance   By seeking right knowledge and loving and reviewing   And eventually over standing those many lessons of my life      You got me caught in a stormy eyed world that drains   And I beg to see truth and promises you made to me   Now we've come so far but my visions of happiness   With you in my life I'm afraid and confused   If I was a bird I'd fly      If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain   If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain      Now why do I feel so alone knowing I know I have you   And what made you turn around on me what did I do?   And when did love feel this way so much pain and misery   Where's the you I once knew and could you fly with me?      If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain   If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain      Now I can't stay, you won't need me   Set me free and let me fly   Oh fly with me, fly with me me   Fly with me, yeah, fly, oh fly, fly      If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain   If I was a bird I'd fly away, spread my wings so I'd escape   If I was the sky I'd let it rain to wash away the pain      Fly away   If I were the sky I'd let it rain to wash the pain   Fly away   If I were the sky I'd let it rain
