When the river calls my name
angels all refrain
a song I heard before
words washed upon the shore,
then a cloud goes passing by,
riding through the sky
so happy all the way,
oh I wonder how it feels
To fly, way up in the sky,
to spread your wings
and leave this earth behind
Now if I could have my way
only for a day
I’d sit up on the moon
whistling a tune
then a comet passes by
I would hitch a ride
to the nearest galaxy
oh I wonder how it feels
To fly, way up in the sky,
to spread your wings
and leave this earth behind
And when I’m in the dark
and racing by the stars
they sing a lullaby that calms my restless heart
and I know how it feels to fly
way up in the sky,
spread your wings
leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
leave it all behind
