world gives you wings Would it make a difference if I spoke more quietly Can you hear me if I barely breathe Would it make it easier if I was not here at all Would it help you make this feel small You got the widest shoulders now, the cleanest hands And the dryest eyes in town I can make noise enough for two, I guess I'll cry your share for you Just for the sake of making sound And now I am a stranger from a long way away And if I spoke your language there would still be nothing to say Cause we all know tomorrow I'll be high over this place And I can tell you one thing, if the world gives you wings, you open those things and fly It's just another April snow We've seen enough that we both know that this can never last What sticks tonight will not hold up to daylight When you wake up it's already melting fast And now I am a stranger from a long way away And if I spoke your language there would still be nothing to say Cause we all know tomorrow I'll be high over this place And I can tell you one thing, if the world gives you wings, you open those things And you fly I can tell you one thing, if the world gives you wings, you open those things And if your voice can still ring you got to stand up and sing And if the world gives you wings you open those things and you fly Would it make a difference if I spoke more quietly lyrics & music by kris delmhorst © 1998 big bean music/ASCAP
