[Verse 1]
Why can't my wings soar like yours?
Why can't my span spread as wide?
Maybe I've got too much left to hide
Why is it so hard to fly
As I watch you grab the sky?
Maybe you've got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
But in the air, we'd meet as friends
Equals in the sky
And I would be content to watch you fly
But from the ground you're just someone
Who's closer to the sun
And I am just the shadow by your side

[Verse 2]
Why is there a wind that waits
Every time you leave the gates?
Why are you aloft when I'm a fool?
Maybe I don't feel the breeze
When it washes over me
Maybe I'm just too earthbound to move

[Chorus]
But in the air we'd meet as friends
Equals in the sky
And I would be content to watch you fly
Here on the ground you're just someone
Who's standing closer to the sun
And I am just a shadow by your side
