Texty: Michael Johnson. Give Me Wings.
He asked her, "What gifts can I bring you
To prove that my love for you is true?
I want to make you mine forever
There's nothing on this earth I would not do"
She said, "Anything I've wanted
You have given willingly
So now there's only one more thing I need"
If you love me, give me wings
And don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
If you love me, give me wings
He walked over to the window
He silently stared into space
Then he said, "Well, I just want to protect you
'Cause this world is a dangerous place"
She put her arms around him
She said, "I know you mean well
But there are lessons I must learn for myself"
So if you love me, give me wings
And don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
And you can trust me, so give me wings
She said, "Up above the clouds
You can see forever
And I know you and I can learn to fly together"
If you love me, give me wings
Don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
And you can trust me, so give me wings
If you really love me
Give me wings
To prove that my love for you is true?
I want to make you mine forever
There's nothing on this earth I would not do"
She said, "Anything I've wanted
You have given willingly
So now there's only one more thing I need"
If you love me, give me wings
And don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
If you love me, give me wings
