VERSES

I was a wing

in heaven blue

soared over the ocean

soared over Spain

and I was free

needed nobody

it was beautiful

I was a pawn

didn't have a move

didn't have nowhere

that I could go

but I was free

I needed nobody

it was beautiful

CHORUS

and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing

G G G A

in heaven blue

I was a vision

in another eye

and they saw nothing

no future at all

yet I was free

I needed nobody

it was beautiful

CHORUS

and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing
