Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why can't my wings soar like yours? Why can't my span spread as wide? Maybe I've got too much left to hide Why is it so hard to fly As I watch you grab the sky? Maybe you've got nothing left to lose [Chorus] But in the air, we'd meet as friends Equals in the sky And I would be content to watch you fly But from the ground you're just someone Who's closer to the sun And I am just the shadow by your side [Verse 2] Why is there a wind that waits Every time you leave the gates? Why are you aloft when I'm a fool? Maybe I don't feel the breeze When it washes over me Maybe I'm just too earthbound to move [Chorus] But in the air we'd meet as friends Equals in the sky And I would be content to watch you fly Here on the ground you're just someone Who's standing closer to the sun And I am just a shadow by your side [Bridge] So why does God provide these dreams If He won't provide the wings? [Verse 3] If I had one wish tonight I would wish to chart my flight Higher than the mountains I can't climb I would meet you halfway there We would soar like eagles dare And my wings would measure brave enough to face the sky [Chorus] 'Cause in the air we'd meet as friends Equal to the sky And I would be content to watch you fly But from the ground you're still someone Who's standing closer to the sun And I am just a shadow by your side From the ground you're just someone Closer to the sun And I am just the shadow by your side
