"If I Had Wings" lyrics

Why do we hate' Why do we suffer?
Why do we make our mistakes and constantly blame one another?
Why is there war and why is there killing?
Have we forgotten some secret we knew back when we were just children?

If I had wings I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missin'
I would have all the answers if I had wings

Like why I am here and where did I come from
And where will I go when my time here on this earth is done
And what would I leave that would go on forever?
Oh no, and what can I do while I'm here to make someone's life better?

If I had wings I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missin'
I would have all the answers if I had wings

Oh now, if I had wings I would fly up to heaven
I would have all the answers if I had wings
