Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter

(Give Me Back My) Wings

(Ian Hunter)

Give me back my wings
You know I have to fly high
If the bird cannot sing
Then his spirit will die

I never said I was right
You can't explain some things
Just give me back my wings
You know I have to reach higher
If the bird cannot soar
Then he loses desire

I never said it was fair
You can't explain some things
Just give me back my wings
Give me back my wings

First it was the Mothers
Then it was the wives
I think that God's a woman
I know she runs my life
And she can still
Oh and I wonder when

Just give me back my wings
You know I have to go higher
If the bird cannot soar Then he loses desire

I never said I was right
You can't explain some things
Just give me back my wings
Give me back my wings
