(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
