Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me "God is love"
But hatred makes the rules
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my hand
World, don't you tell me
I cannot last forever
Before you know I'll come and go
And make you if I can
Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me
Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?
Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my hand
Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?
I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool My mother told me "God is love" But hatred makes the rules Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand World, don't you tell me I cannot last forever Before you know I'll come and go And make you if I can Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love And keep their pain for me Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love And keep their pain for me Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? Explain Request ×
