If I had Wings
If I had wings, then would I fly?
Could I bear to leave the world I know,
And soar above a darkening sky,
And fight through rain, and wind, and snow.
And if I flew, where would I be?
Would I travel to lands I have not known?
Would I dare to cross the terrible seas
And wonder, then, where had I flown.
And if I stood in a place so strange,
Would I want to stay?
Or would I flee on my wings,
And could I fly away?
Could I find my way back home,
Over seas and woods so new to me,
And would that place still be home
To one who lives with angel's wings?
Could I live if I had wings?
If I had wings, then would I fly?
Could I bear to leave the world I know,
And soar above a darkening sky,
And fight through rain, and wind, and snow.
And if I flew, where would I be?
Would I travel to lands I have not known?
Would I dare to cross the terrible seas
And wonder, then, where had I flown.
And if I stood in a place so strange,
Would I want to stay?
Or would I flee on my wings,
And could I fly away?
Could I find my way back home,
Over seas and woods so new to me,
And would that place still be home
To one who lives with angel's wings?
Could I live if I had wings?
