Sometimes the world can be cruel
That's when I dream I was flying
Away from this planet of fools
Floating so freely
No one can see me
Life can be so hard to bear
That's when I wish I was soaring
Far from all wars and despair
Far from the fighting
Peacefully gliding
So free and careless
Like a bird up in the sky
High - above the land, above the ocean
Flying high - just the ultimate emotion
I rise and dive
Floating on these silver wings alive
Free as a seagull
Proud as an eagle
Bird up in heaven
That's what I would like to be
Sometimes I'm so tired and scared
That's when I wish I could hover
Fly to a land, God knows where
Nothing is frightening
Thunder or lightning
So free and careless
Like a bird up in the sky
High - above the land, above the ocean
Flying high - just the ultimate emotion
I rise and dive
Floating on these silver wings alive
Free as a seagull
Proud as an eagle
Bird up in heaven
That's what I would love to be
Peacefully gliding
No more running, no more hiding
So free and careless
Like a bird up in the sky
Free as a seagull
Proud as an eagle
Bird up in heaven
That's what I would love to be
