You can't buy a dream then expect your schemes
To appear brand new like the way you do
It's not hard to find, deep inside your mind,
Which road will take you through
Now you know that rain never falls in vain
For the seed must grow, its glory shows
In the summer sun while our world is young,
They reach to touch the sky

I wish we could fly
I wish we could fly
How I wish
We could fly

I wish we could fly
I wish we could fly
How I wish
We could fly

Then we'd see far more clearly the best way we should go
Man just has to grow and grow and grow

Oh the air we breathe is given us to free,
Like you loving me
Throughout our days in so many ways
Helps me reach to touch the sky

But I can't explain self-inflicted pain
When there's room for all to play life's game
And, as we know, our love must grow
Or we'll never touch the sky

I wish we could fly
I wish we could fly
How I wish
We could fly

I wish we could fly
I wish we could fly
Oh how I wish
We could fly
