Wings

Seen it written and I've heard it told

That a man does things for gold

Drives him crazy and it makes him old

Before his time

Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end

Wastin' time and loosin' friends

Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes

But those of us who seek the truth

Will be there when she rides

Talkin' 'bout wings

To carry us over the water

Talkin' 'bout wings

Pickin' us up by the waves

Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin'

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Once met a man and his words were wise

And he looked me in the eyes

He said brother don't you compromise

What you feel

All things figure in a bigger plan

And it's up to veryman

Just to do the best to reach his own ideals

And build a world around himself

And live it like he feels

Talkin' 'bout wings

To carry us over the water

Talkin' 'bout wings

Pickin' us up by the waves

Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin'

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Talkin' 'bout wings

To carry us over the water

Talkin' 'bout wings

Pickin' us up by the waves

Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin'

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Talkin' 'bout wings

To carry us over the water

Talkin' 'bout wings

Pickin' us up by the waves

Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin'

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
